AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 8-44-110, which requires public bodies to make meeting agendas available to the public in advance. Specifically, it adds the governing body of a local education agency (LEA), which is a public entity responsible for operating public schools, and any other local governing body that can make binding decisions or allocate funds, to the list of entities that must provide these advance agendas. This change aims to increase transparency in local government by ensuring more public bodies, particularly those involved in education and financial decisions, are subject to this public notice requirement.
