AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 7-52-110(b), specifically changing the timeframe for board of public utilities members to elect a chair from "ten (10) days" to "ten (10) business days" after their appointment and qualification. The modification means that board members now have additional time to select their chair, excluding weekends and potentially legal holidays when calculating the ten-day period. This technical change provides municipal electric utility boards with slightly more flexibility in their organizational process. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, with the justification that it serves the public welfare by potentially allowing more deliberative selection of board leadership.
