Bill Summary
As enacted, requires the members of a utility district board of commissioners to serve without compensation for their services, except that, by resolution duly adopted by the board of commissioners, each commissioner may receive per diem payments for not more than 12 meetings of the board of commissioners in any calendar year, at rates not greater than $500 per meeting. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 12; Title 13; Title 66 and Title 67.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code to modify compensation rules for utility district board commissioners in a specific county with a population between 158,100 and 158,200 (as determined by the 2020 federal census). Under the new provisions, utility district board commissioners will serve without compensation, but may receive per diem payments for up to twelve board meetings per calendar year, with each meeting payment not exceeding $500. The bill specifies that these per diem payments can only be authorized by a resolution adopted by the board of commissioners. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, and appear to be narrowly tailored to apply to a very specific county based on its precise population range. The bill aims to provide a structured approach to compensating utility district board commissioners while limiting potential financial burden on the local government.
