General Assembly, Confirmation of Appointment - Todd Skelton, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Advisory Board -

SJR 97 is a procedural resolution confirming Governor Bill Lee's appointment of Todd Skelton to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville advisory board, as required by Tennessee law (TCA § 49-9-501). The resolution does not create new policy but completes the formal confirmation process for Skelton, who serves as general counsel for HF Capital (the Haslam family office) and previously assisted in drafting the advisory board system. Skelton's term on the board expires June 30, 2025. This is a routine confirmation step for an appointed board member, not a substantive legislative change.
