AI Summary

This bill modifies the composition of several state insurance committees to ensure representation from specific employee groups and to centralize appointment authority. Specifically, it replaces a member appointed by the Tennessee State Employees Association on the state insurance committee with a "preferred service employee," which refers to a state employee with a certain level of job security and tenure. For the local education insurance committee, a representative of local school boards previously selected by the Tennessee School Boards Association will now be chosen by the Commissioner of Finance and Administration. Finally, the bill changes the local government insurance committee by removing members appointed by the Tennessee Municipal League and Tennessee County Services Association and instead having the Commissioner of Finance and Administration appoint members who are themselves employees of a municipality and a county government, respectively, ensuring these committee members are directly involved in local government operations.
