General Assembly - As introduced, requires the speakers of the senate and house of representatives to determine an equivalent number of legislative conferences, or number of legislative conference days, for which a member of the senate or house of representatives is entitled to attend for purposes of receiving expense and mileage allowances. - Amends TCA Title 3, Chapter 1.

SB 618 requires Tennessee's Senate and House speakers to establish an equal number of legislative conferences or conference days for which members of either chamber can claim expense and mileage allowances. It standardizes the allowance system by mandating that the approved count of conferences or days must be identical for both the Senate and House. The bill defines "conference" broadly to include meetings, workshops, or gatherings related to state legislative duties. This procedural change affects all state legislators who claim travel expenses for official legislative events. The policy takes effect on November 3, 2026.
