Subcommittee advances bill giving TDEC authority to enter private development agreements for Cumberland Mountain State Park
Summary
The subcommittee amended and unanimously advanced HB 338, which grants the commissioner of TDEC authority to enter agreements with private entities for development, construction and operation of facilities at Cumberland Mountain State Park and to oversee related construction projects.
House Bill 338, sponsored by Chairman Crawford, was amended and advanced out of the Department and Agency Subcommittee by voice vote.
"This is a very simple bill," Chairman Crawford said when recognized by the chair. He described HB 338 as granting "the commissioner of TDEC the authority to enter agreements with private entities for development, construction, and operation of facilities and oversee construction projects tied to those agreements at the Cumberland Mountain State Park." The committee agreed to add the proposed amendment (drafting code 16,756) by voice vote.
Mr. Clark opened the board for the final vote on HB 338 as amended; he announced the result as "aye, 0 no's." The chair reported the bill will move on to the full committee. The transcript does not record roll-call votes by individual members, any fiscal notes, or specifics about the scope or limits of the commissioner’s contracting authority beyond the sponsor’s summary.
No public testimony on HB 338 was recorded in this meeting; implementation details and oversight provisions were not specified on the record.
