AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law concerning welfare programs by adding a new section that restricts the governor's authority regarding the summer electronic benefits transfer program, which is a program provided by the Food and Nutrition Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to help low-income families purchase food during the summer months when children may not have access to school meals. Specifically, the governor cannot decide to opt out of or withdraw the state from this program unless the General Assembly, Tennessee's legislative body, has first authorized such a decision through a joint resolution.
