House Bill 2200 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8, Chapter 36, to enhance the process for political subdivisions to access hazardous duty benefits. Specifically, it adds a requirement for the governing body of a political subdivision that passes a resolution related to hazardous duty benefits to forward a copy of that resolution to the board of trustees. This addition aims to ensure proper communication and documentation between local governing bodies and the board overseeing these benefits.
The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of its implementation for the public welfare. This legislative change seeks to streamline the administrative process associated with hazardous duty benefits, thereby potentially improving the efficiency of benefit distribution to eligible personnel.
