House Bill 919, sponsored by Cepicky, amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding the appointment of representatives for statutorily created entities. The bill specifically revises the requirement for employee representatives by deleting the existing language that states, "At least one (1) employee representative shall be from organized labor," and replacing it with a new requirement that "The employee representative appointed by the governor must be from an entity representing organized labor."
This change aims to clarify the source of the employee representative appointed by the governor, ensuring that the representative is affiliated with an organized labor entity. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law and will apply to appointments made on or after the effective date.
Statutes affected: Introduced: 50-6-121(a)(1)(C), 50-6-121
