Bill > SJR0098

This resolution confirms the appointment of Phillip Fulmer to the board of directors of the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation (TELC), a state-established entity. The resolution acknowledges that Governor Bill Lee has nominated Fulmer to serve a term ending on June 30, 2027, and provides context about Fulmer's background as a notable Tennessee sports figure, including his distinguished career as head football coach at the University of Tennessee from 1992-2008, where he led the team to a national championship and was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. The resolution notes that Tennessee law requires gubernatorial appointments to the TELC board to be confirmed by a joint resolution of the state's general assembly, and it officially confirms Fulmer's appointment after highlighting his professional achievements and community involvement, such as serving as a national spokesperson for the Jason Foundation and chairing the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame board of directors.
