Senate Bill 2230 and House Bill 2536 propose amendments to Tennessee Code Annotated regarding the composition of various insurance committees. The bill establishes a state insurance committee, a local education insurance committee, and a local government insurance committee, detailing the members and their selection processes. For the state insurance committee, it specifies that it will include the commissioner of human resources, the state treasurer, and other key officials, along with four state employees, including at least one preferred service employee. The local education insurance committee will consist of similar high-level officials and three teachers from local education agencies, while the local government insurance committee will include representatives from municipalities and county governments.

The bill also includes specific procedures for selecting state employee members for the committees and allows for the designation of alternate representatives for the local education insurance committee. The amendments replace existing subsections in the relevant sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated, ensuring that the committees are structured to effectively represent the interests of state employees, educators, and local government officials. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
