AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 58-2-104(c), to clarify reporting requirements for the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) and its director during emergency conditions. Previously, the law stated that TEMA and its director "shall report" during emergencies, but this bill mandates that these reports must be made "in writing, in addition to any other means," ensuring a documented record of communication with the governor or their designee. The bill also makes conforming amendments to various other titles of the Tennessee Code, though the core change focuses on the written reporting requirement for TEMA during emergencies.
