Senate Bill 53, sponsored by Roberts, proposes amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning the board of claims. Specifically, it deletes subdivision (5) from Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new subdivision in Section 4-29-252(a) that explicitly recognizes the board of claims, as established by Section 9-8-101.

The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the changes for public welfare.
