On May 21, 2024, Governor Bill Lee signed into law an amendment to T.C.A. § 5-5-113 that provides for a new incentive for county commissioners, should their county choose to adopt by resolution.
To qualify for the new incentive, the following must happen:
- Your county must adopt a resolution establishing the incentive.
- Commissioners who have never participated in any CTAS training must register for a k@te account.
This new incentive for county commissioners has specific requirements to meet in order to qualify for it. The qualifications depend on when you were elected.
