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 926 requires Tennessee's Senate and House speakers to set equal numbers of approved legislative conferences or conference days for state senators and representatives to receive expense and mileage allowances. It directly affects all members of the Tennessee General Assembly who attend meetings related to state business, such as symposiums or workshops. The bill defines "conference" broadly to include any official meeting concerning state duties and mandates that both chambers must have identical approval counts for these events. The law would take effect on November 3, 2026, standardizing how travel costs are covered for legislative meetings.
