General Assembly, Confirmation of Appointment - Rick Spell, University of Tennessee Health Science Center Advisory Board -

SJR 113 is a procedural resolution confirming Governor Bill Lee's appointment of Rick Spell to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center advisory board. It requires the General Assembly to formally approve this appointment, as mandated by Tennessee law (TCA § 49-9-501), which specifies the governor appoints five members to the board and the legislature must confirm them. Spell, a Memphis Athletic Foundation president and University of Memphis accounting graduate, will serve until June 30, 2028. This resolution does not create new policy but completes a required confirmation step for an existing appointment.
