House Joint Resolution 174 confirms the appointment of Eddie Smith to the Public Charter School Commission in Tennessee. The resolution outlines that the commission is established under Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-13-105, which mandates the governor to appoint nine members, ensuring representation from each grand division of the state. Governor Bill Lee has appointed Smith to represent East Tennessee, with his term set to expire on June 30, 2029.

Eddie Smith, a former State Representative, currently serves as the director of programs and development for Childhelp Tennessee, an organization focused on child abuse and neglect in Knoxville. The resolution emphasizes that each appointed member of the commission must be confirmed by a joint resolution of the General Assembly, thereby formalizing Smith's role on the commission.
