Bill > HJR0164

This resolution confirms the appointment of Todd Skelton to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville advisory board, as appointed by Governor Bill Lee, for a term ending on June 30, 2025. The resolution is based on Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-9-501, which establishes advisory boards for various University of Tennessee campuses and requires that the governor's appointments be confirmed by the General Assembly. Todd Skelton, who serves as general counsel for HF Capital (the Haslam family office) and previously worked as deputy counsel to Governor Bill Haslam, is being confirmed to one of the five board member positions. Skelton has a notable background in the development of the university advisory board system, having been the primary drafter of the bill that created the current advisory board structure when he worked for Governor Haslam.
