House Bill 1664, sponsored by Maberry, amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to introduce a requirement for annual compliance attestations from the executive heads of state departments, county governments, municipal governments, metropolitan governments, and public institutions of higher education. Specifically, each of these entities must submit an attestation of compliance with existing regulations to the comptroller of the treasury by January 1, 2027, and annually thereafter. This new requirement aims to ensure adherence to standards related to discriminatory preferences.

The bill adds new subsections to Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 4-1-427, 5-1-135, 6-54-150, 7-3-107, and 49-7-192, mandating these attestations. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of compliance in promoting equitable practices across state and local government entities.
