Bill > HB2080

This bill restructures the board of directors for the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation, with the current board being dissolved on July 1, 2026, and a new nine-member board appointed by the governor, speaker of the senate, and speaker of the house of representatives, with staggered four-year terms designed to ensure diverse expertise and representation. The bill also mandates that information regarding the hiring, employment, performance, and compensation of the corporation's chief executive officer or president be considered public records, subject to public records requests under Tennessee law (Title 10, Chapter 7), though personally identifiable information will be redacted, and generally requires the corporation to adhere to public records and public meeting laws applicable to state agencies. Furthermore, the bill specifies that audits of the corporation must be shared with various state officials and committees, and importantly, it establishes a termination date for the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation on June 30, 2030, meaning it will cease to exist on that date unless further legislative action is taken.
