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

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