House Bill 20, also known as Senate Bill 293, amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to clarify the status of the Tennessee state guard within the military department. Specifically, it designates the existing language in Section 58-1-408 as subsection (a) and introduces a new subsection (b), which states that the state guard is a separate entity for budgetary purposes.

This bill aims to enhance the administrative clarity regarding the financial management of the state guard, ensuring it is recognized distinctly within the military department's budgetary framework. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of this change for the public welfare.
