Bill > HB1259

This bill modifies Tennessee's water quality board notification requirements by extending the advance notice period for regular and special meetings from five to seven days. Specifically, the legislation amends Section 69-3-104(d) of the Tennessee Code Annotated, which governs the Tennessee Board of Water Quality, Oil, and Gas. By increasing the notification timeline by two days, the bill gives board members additional time to prepare for and plan their attendance at meetings. The change is relatively minor but potentially provides board members with more flexibility in scheduling and preparation. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, which emphasizes that the public welfare supports this change. While the modification might seem small, it represents a technical adjustment to administrative procedures for an important state regulatory body responsible for overseeing water quality and related environmental concerns.
