AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated by increasing the advance notification period for the Tennessee board of water quality, oil, and gas from five to seven days before regular or special meetings. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 69-3-104(d) to require that board members must now receive meeting notices seven days in advance, instead of the previous five-day requirement. The change provides board members with slightly more time to prepare for upcoming meetings. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly, with the stated justification that it serves the public welfare by improving notification procedures for this important water quality and resource management board.
