Tennessee Valley Authority Transparency Act of 2025
HR 1373, the Tennessee Valley Authority Transparency Act of 2025, requires the TVA Board to hold public meetings, provide 6 days' notice via its website, and publish meeting minutes online for all non-emergency meetings. This directly affects the TVA Board and its committees by mandating greater public access to their proceedings. Key provisions include requiring all meetings (except emergency-designated ones) to be open to the public, with notice posted online at least six days in advance, and making meeting summaries and minutes publicly available. The bill focuses on procedural transparency without altering TVA's operational authority or funding.
