SJR 638 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

General Assembly, Confirmation of Appointment - Alec Richardson, University of Tennessee at Martin Advisory Board -

SJR 638 is a procedural resolution confirming Governor Bill Lee's appointment of Alec Richardson to the University of Tennessee at Martin advisory board. Tennessee law (TCA § 49-9-501) requires the General Assembly to confirm such appointments, and this resolution formally approves Richardson's five-year term, which expires June 30, 2029. The resolution does not create new policy or affect any broader legislative action - it solely addresses the confirmation of a specific board appointment. Richardson, a UT Martin graduate and former state government advisor, was nominated by the governor under existing statutory requirements.
