Bill > HB2255

This bill makes several changes to Tennessee law regarding appointments to various boards and councils, primarily ensuring that when a vacancy occurs before a term is finished, the replacement is appointed to serve for the remainder of that unexpired term. Specifically, it amends laws related to the Human Trafficking Advisory Council, the State Building Commission, the Board of Professional Counselors, the Tennessee Agricultural Museum Board, and the Wildlife Resources Commission, among others, by adding provisions that require vacancies to be filled for the balance of the unexpired term. In one instance concerning the Wildlife Resources Commission, it clarifies that members appointed by the governor are subject to specific confirmation processes.
