Bill > SB1826

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" includes emergency communications district boards of directors, which are established under TCA Title 7, Chapter 86, Part 3. This amendment is intended to allow these emergency communications district boards of directors to participate in their board meetings electronically, aligning them with the requirements of the open meetings law, which generally mandates that public bodies conduct their business in public and that members be physically present to participate.
