SB 2267 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

State Government - As enacted, clarifies that the four trustees for other post-employment benefits may appoint a designee in their absence. - Amends TCA Section 8-27-801.

SB 2267 clarifies that the four trustees responsible for managing Tennessee's "other post-employment benefits" (like certain retirement programs) may appoint a designee to act on their behalf when they are absent. The bill amends Tennessee law to explicitly state that each of these trustees - specifically the finance commissioner, Senate finance committee chair, House finance committee chair, and retirement system board chair - can appoint a representative. This change streamlines administrative procedures for these trustee positions without altering benefit programs or affecting citizens directly. It is a procedural amendment focused solely on governance structure.
