AI Summary

This bill establishes an advisory task force, to be created by the speaker of the senate, the speaker of the house of representatives, and the attorney general and reporter, by July 1, 2016, to review "games of skill," which are defined as activities where the outcome is primarily determined by a participant's knowledge or ability rather than chance, and specifically includes online fantasy football. The task force, composed of nine members appointed by the aforementioned officials, is charged with recommending any necessary changes to Tennessee's consumer protection and criminal laws to safeguard individuals who pay to participate in these games, and it must submit its findings and recommendations to the governor and legislative leaders by January 1, 2017, after which it will dissolve. The attorney general and reporter's office will provide administrative support, and task force members will serve without pay but can be reimbursed for travel expenses.
