Boards and Commissions - As enacted, makes various revisions to the governing boards of public higher education institutions. -

SB 933 revises Tennessee law governing employee representation on boards of public higher education institutions. It changes the requirement so that the employee representative appointed by the governor must come from an entity representing organized labor (like a union), rather than being an individual employee from organized labor. This clarifies that the representative must be affiliated with a labor organization, not just any employee who is part of a union. The bill became law on May 9, 2025, and applies to appointments made after that date.
