Bill > HB1773

This bill, by amending Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 8, Chapter 44, Part 1, specifically Section 8-44-108(a)(2), clarifies that "governing body" now explicitly includes emergency communications district boards of directors, which are established under TCA Title 7, Chapter 86, Part 3. This amendment, in conjunction with the government-provided summary, indicates that the primary purpose of this legislation is to allow these emergency communications district boards of directors to participate in their board meetings electronically, in accordance with the state's open meetings law, which generally requires public bodies to conduct business in public.
