SB 833 Tennessee Senate · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Education, Higher - As enacted, makes revisions to the law relative to confirmation of membership on the board of regents for the State University and Community College System; the Tennessee Promise Scholarship Act of 2014; the Wilder-Naifeh technical skills grant; and dual enrollment grants for high school students. - Amends TCA Title 49.

This bill updates the deadline for confirming members of the State University and Community College System board of regents. It changes the requirement so that appointments must be finalized by December 31 of the current year and every year after that, rather than just once by the end of 2023. The law also clarifies that these confirmation deadlines apply annually to ensure the board remains fully staffed each year.
