House Bill 2365 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 4-3-2711, which pertains to the Tennessee Council on Autism Spectrum Disorder. The bill modifies the existing language regarding the compensation of council members. It deletes the previous provision and substitutes it with a new clause stating that council members will serve without compensation but will be eligible for reimbursement of travel expenses incurred while attending council meetings. This reimbursement must adhere to the comprehensive travel regulations established by the Department of Finance and Administration and approved by the Attorney General and Reporter.
The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2024, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that council members can attend meetings without financial burden while maintaining compliance with state travel regulations.
