General Assembly, Confirmation of Appointment - Lynn Richardson, Ethics Commission -
SJR 118 is a procedural resolution confirming Governor Bill Lee's appointment of Lynn Richardson of Elizabethton to the Tennessee Ethics Commission. It directly affects Richardson by formally approving her appointment, which requires legislative confirmation under Tennessee law (TCA § 3-6-103). The resolution states the General Assembly confirms her appointment for a term expiring December 31, 2028, after the governor's selection. This is a routine confirmation process, not a substantive policy change, and does not alter the commission's duties or powers.
