HB 2063 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

General Assembly - As introduced, requires the speakers of the senate and house of representatives to determine an equivalent number of legislative conferences, or number of legislative conference days, for which a member of the senate or house of representatives is entitled to attend for purposes of receiving expense and mileage allowances. - Amends TCA Title 3, Chapter 1.

HB 2063 requires Tennessee's Senate and House speakers to set the same number of allowable conferences (or conference days) for legislators from each chamber to claim expense and mileage reimbursements. This bill amends state law to ensure equal treatment between Senate and House members when attending meetings related to legislative duties, such as conferences, workshops, or state business gatherings. It does not change the total reimbursement amount but standardizes the maximum number of approved events per chamber. The policy affects all Tennessee state legislators who seek reimbursement for travel related to official legislative activities.
