SB 2316 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Economic and Community Development - As enacted, vacates and reconstitutes the board of directors of the Tennessee Technology Development Corporation. - Amends TCA Title 4.

SB 2316 vacates and reconstitutes the board of directors for the Tennessee Technology Development Corporation (TTDC), replacing its current governance structure. The bill establishes a new 12-member board: seven private-sector members (appointed by the governor, House speaker, and Senate speaker) and four public-sector members (appointed by the same officials, with specific municipal/county consultation for two). It sets initial terms of 3-4 years for members, requires annual conflict-of-interest disclosures, limits board meetings to eight per year, and mandates an executive committee for daily operations. This is a procedural change to TTDC's governance, not a policy or funding measure, affecting how the corporation is managed.
