Amends TCA Title 7 and Title 68.

Present law requires utility district commissioners to attend training and continuing education on board governance, financial oversight, policymaking responsibilities, or other topics reasonably related to the duties of the members of the board of commissioners of a utility district. Commissioners must attend 12 hours of training and continuing education within one year of initial appointment or election. After the initial training period, a commissioner must attend 12 additional hours of training and continuing education every three years. The utility district is responsible for paying the training and continuing education course registration and travel expenses for the members of the utility district's board of commissioners. The deadline for meeting these requirements is the last full continuing education period before the utility district commissioner's term of office ends. Commissioners who fail to meet the training and continuing education requirements are not eligible for reappointment or reelection to another term. <br /> <br /> This bill adds that those commissioners who fail to meet the training and continuing education requirements by the above-described deadline may regain eligibility for reappointment or reelection by completing the mandated training and education. The utility district will not be responsible for any of the costs associated with completing the training and continuing education requirements completed after the deadline has passed. <br /> <br />
