Senate Bill 47, sponsored by Briggs, amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding local tourism development. The bill modifies Section 7-69-109(c) by removing the requirement for a report and annual audit to be filed only with the governing body of the municipality that granted permission for the authority to organize. Instead, it mandates that these documents must also be filed with each member of the general assembly representing that municipality, and allows for electronic submission of the report.

This change aims to enhance transparency and communication between local authorities and their legislative representatives, ensuring that lawmakers are informed about the activities and financial status of tourism development authorities within their jurisdictions. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
