Senate Bill 715 amends Tennessee Code Annotated to include new provisions regarding traffic and parking regulations at public institutions of higher education. Specifically, it modifies Section 4-5-102(12)(b) by deleting the word "or" at the end of subdivision (v) and replacing "and" with "or" at the end of subdivision (vi). Additionally, it introduces a new subdivision (vii) that explicitly states that traffic and parking regulations created by a governing board of a public institution of higher education are included in the relevant legal framework.

The bill is designed to clarify the authority of governing boards at public higher education institutions in Tennessee to establish and enforce traffic and parking regulations. This change aims to enhance the governance and operational efficiency of these institutions, ensuring that they have the necessary legal backing to manage their campus traffic and parking effectively. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
