Bill > SB0908

This bill amends Tennessee's open meetings law to include the Tennessee One Health Committee as a governing body subject to public meeting requirements. Specifically, the bill adds the Tennessee One Health Committee to the list of entities that must conduct open meetings, defining it as an organization that promotes health across humans, animals, and the environment through collaboration among local, state, and federal agencies, academic institutions, and outside partners. The bill expands the legal definition of a "meeting" to explicitly include gatherings of this committee, ensuring transparency by mandating that these meetings be open to the public. By making these changes, the bill aims to increase governmental transparency and provide citizens with greater access to information about the committee's activities and discussions. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
