SB 2264 amends Tennessee's lobbying laws to require that local government entities - including school boards, municipal utilities, and county or city departments - must register as employers of lobbyists when they hire contractors or representatives to lobby on their behalf. Previously, these entities were exempt from this classification, but the bill removes that exemption. The law now treats these local entities as direct employers of lobbyists, subjecting them to the same reporting and registration requirements as other lobbying employers. This change applies only to local government entities; state government agencies remain exempt under the updated law.
SB 2443 restricts unmanned traffic cameras near school zones to operate only when warning flashers are active or when children are present (if no flashers exist). It directly affects school zones and traffic enforcement systems in Tennessee by limiting camera use to specific times of heightened student activity. The bill amends Tennessee law to require cameras to function solely during these designated periods, rather than continuously within school zone boundaries. This change focuses on aligning camera enforcement with actual student presence or active safety measures.

The law establishes the coins' legal status while preventing coercion in their acceptance.
