SJR 89 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

General Assembly, Confirmation of Appointment - David Jones, Public Utility Commission -

SJR 89 is a procedural resolution confirming Governor Bill Lee's reappointment of David Jones to the Tennessee Public Utility Commission for a six-year term ending June 30, 2030. This resolution is required by Tennessee law (TCA § 65-1-101) for all appointments to the Commission, which regulates public utilities like electricity and gas. The resolution does not create new policy or affect residents directly; it simply follows the statutory process to approve the governor's appointment. The bill text includes background on Jones' qualifications but the resolution itself only confirms his existing appointment.
