Senate Joint Resolution 58 confirms the appointment of John Hie as a commissioner of the Tennessee Public Utility Commission. This appointment is made through a joint agreement among Governor Bill Lee, Lieutenant Governor Randy McNally, and Speaker Cameron Sexton, with Hie's term set to expire on June 30, 2030. Hie brings a wealth of experience to the role, having retired from Stephens, Inc., an investment firm, and previously worked as a financial advisor and broker. He is also a veteran who served as a pharmacist in the U.S. Army and has owned and operated an independent pharmacy.

The resolution highlights the requirement for such appointments to be confirmed by a joint resolution adopted by both houses of the Tennessee General Assembly, as stipulated in Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 65-1-101. The confirmation of Hie's appointment is seen as beneficial due to his extensive business experience, which is expected to contribute positively to the operations of the Tennessee Public Utility Commission.
