Bill > SB0850

This bill amends Tennessee's state law regarding the monthly home office allowance for members of the general assembly by increasing the allowance from $1,250 to $2,250 per month. Additionally, the bill extends the current provisions related to this allowance from the year 2024 to 2026, with the changes set to take effect on November 3, 2026. The legislation represents a direct modification to Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 3-1-106, which governs compensation and allowances for state legislators. By raising the home office allowance, the bill aims to provide additional financial support to state representatives and senators to help cover expenses related to maintaining an office and conducting legislative business outside of the state capitol. The timing of the bill's implementation suggests a deliberate approach to updating legislative compensation, with the effective date strategically positioned after the current fiscal period.
