General Assembly, Confirmation of Appointment - Lynn Richardson, Ethics Commission -

HJR 195 is a procedural resolution confirming Governor Bill Lee’s appointment of Lynn Richardson to the Tennessee Ethics Commission. It requires the General Assembly to formally approve her appointment, as mandated by Tennessee law (TCA § 3-6-103), which necessitates a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers. The resolution directly affects Richardson, who will serve on the Ethics Commission until December 31, 2028, following her confirmation. This is a routine confirmation process, not a policy change, and does not alter existing ethics laws or regulations.
