House Bill 2208 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 6-58-114, to enhance the representation of populations in joint economic and community development boards. The bill designates the existing language as subdivision (a)(1) and introduces a new subdivision (a)(2), which states that it is the intent of the General Assembly for the membership of these boards to reflect the demographics of the cities and counties they serve.

This legislative change aims to ensure that the composition of economic and community development boards is more inclusive and representative of the communities they represent, thereby promoting equitable development and decision-making. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of its implementation for public welfare.
