Bill > SB0991

This bill establishes a new biennial September session for the Tennessee General Assembly, beginning in odd-numbered years. The September session will convene on the Tuesday immediately following Labor Day and must adjourn by September 30th of the same year. During this session, legislators can consider bills filed prior to the previous session's adjournment, as well as up to 99 new bills and resolutions pre-filed by the third Thursday in August. Each representative can file one bill, while senators can file up to three. The bill includes specific exceptions to the 99-bill limit, such as local bills, memorializing resolutions, and supplemental appropriation bills. The session will be funded through the existing legislative budget and will not be considered a full annual legislative session for appointment and confirmation purposes. Additionally, the bill modifies fundraising restrictions during legislative session periods, prohibiting members of the general assembly, their campaign committees, and political caucuses from conducting fundraisers or soliciting contributions during specified session times. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
