House Bill 1773 and Senate Bill 1826 propose amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated regarding the governance of emergency communications district boards of directors. The bill specifically modifies Section 8-44-108(a)(2) by deleting the existing definition of "governing body" and replacing it with a new definition that explicitly includes emergency communications district boards of directors, which are assisted by the emergency communications board established under Section 7-86-302.

The changes aim to clarify the governance structure of emergency communications districts within the state, ensuring that these boards are recognized as part of the broader framework of state government agencies and commissions. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare in its implementation.
