Senate Bill 181, sponsored by Roberts, proposes amendments to various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning governmental entities. The bill specifically removes the requirement for appointments to be subject to review by the joint select committee on veterans services, as indicated by the deletion of the phrase "All appointments shall be subject to review by the joint select committee on veterans services of the general assembly" from Section 58-7-102(b). Additionally, it deletes the reference to the joint select committee on veterans services in Section 58-7-109.

The bill aims to streamline the appointment process by eliminating the oversight of the joint select committee on veterans services, thereby potentially expediting the appointment of individuals to governmental positions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the changes for the public welfare.
