Bill > HB0100

This bill amends Tennessee law to adjust compensation and meeting provisions for board members of energy authorities. Specifically, the bill allows board members to receive travel expenses and meeting attendance allowances similar to those provided for directors of municipal electric systems. The legislation clarifies that board members can receive necessary traveling and other expenses while conducting board business, with these expenses considered part of the authority's operational costs. The bill also specifies that board meetings require a majority of directors to be present, and that resolutions can be adopted after a single reading at the same meeting they are introduced. Additionally, the bill supplements existing authorization for board compensation for energy authorities created by previous private acts of the general assembly, providing more flexibility in how board members can be compensated for their service. The changes aim to provide consistent and fair compensation guidelines for board members of energy authorities across different types of municipal utility organizations.
