Sports - As enacted, makes changes relative to the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, including reducing membership on the executive committee from seven to six members; adding to board responsibilities by requiring it to direct the mission of the hall of fame; and making other related changes. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 3, Part 54.
SB 1886 reduces the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame board's executive committee size from seven to six members and adds a new duty requiring the board to set the hall's strategic direction, financial oversight, and mission. It also shortens the timeline for the board to submit its annual operational plan to the commissioner from an unspecified period to 90 days before each calendar year begins. The bill directly affects the Hall of Fame board and its relationship with the commissioner of tourist development. (Procedural bill; summary limited to key operational changes.)
