Bill > SJR0099

This resolution confirms the appointment of Hanes Torbett to the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission, a nine-member body created under state law and appointed by the governor. The resolution highlights Torbett's professional background as a successful insurance broker and his experience in financial services, and notes his qualifications for the commission, including being an avid sportsman and outdoorsman with knowledge of wildlife conservation. Specifically, Torbett was appointed by Governor Bill Lee to serve a term expiring on February 28, 2030, and the resolution requires confirmation by both the House of Representatives committee with jurisdiction over the matter and the Senate's Energy, Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, as well as by joint resolution of the General Assembly. The resolution emphasizes Torbett's previous public service experience, including serving on the Tennessee Sports Wagering Council and previously being a member of the Tennessee Historical Commission, and points to his Bachelor of Arts degree in Industrial Relations from the University of North Carolina as additional background that makes him well-suited for the commission.
