Senate Bill 1574 amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to modify the time frame for certain lobbying-related requirements. Specifically, it changes the language in Section 3-6-302(a) and Section 3-6-302(c) by replacing "seven (7) days" with "seven (7) business days." This adjustment clarifies that the deadlines for these lobbying activities are to be calculated based on business days rather than calendar days.
The bill aims to enhance the clarity and efficiency of the lobbying process in Tennessee by ensuring that all parties involved have a consistent understanding of the time frames required for compliance. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of timely adherence to lobbying regulations.
