AI Summary
This bill introduces a new process for utility district commissioners who become ineligible to serve due to failing to meet training and continuing education requirements, while also reducing the mandatory training hours. Specifically, if a commissioner becomes ineligible for not completing the required training, they can file a petition for reinstatement with the Tennessee board of utility regulation after their current term ends. The board will conduct an informal hearing and can establish terms for reinstatement, which must include completing 12 hours of training within one year of the board's order. The bill also reduces the required training and continuing education hours for utility district commissioners from 12 to 6 hours, making it easier for commissioners to maintain their eligibility. This change applies to both the general training requirements for utility district commissioners and specific board training provisions. The bill aims to provide a more flexible approach to continuing education compliance while maintaining professional development standards for utility district commissioners.
