Senate Bill 2012, also known as House Bill 2063, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 3, Chapter 1, concerning the general assembly's regulations on conferences for its members. The bill designates the existing subsection (a) as subdivision (a)(1) and introduces a new subdivision (a)(2). This new provision empowers the speakers of the senate and house of representatives to determine the number of conferences or conference days for which members are eligible to receive expense and mileage allowances. Importantly, it mandates that the number of approved conferences must be uniform for both chambers.

The bill defines "conference" to encompass various forms of official gatherings related to state business, including symposiums, workshops, and other meetings. The act is set to take effect on November 3, 2026, emphasizing its role in ensuring equitable treatment of members of the general assembly regarding conference attendance and associated allowances.
