This bill makes statutory revisions required for implementation of the annual appropriations act, as follows:<br /> <br /> (1) Present law provides that proceeds from the sale and conveyance of surplus real property or improvements used for operation of state prisons, if not managed as state office buildings and support facilities revolving fund property, must be deposited in the Sentencing Act of 1985 reserve, created pursuant to TCA section 9-4-210, to be used for purposes authorized by that section. This bill revises this provision to instead require that the funds be deposited in a reserve for correctional facilities, which is created by this bill in the general fund, to be used for capital outlay for replacement facilities of the department of correction and other capital outlay of the department.<br /> <br /> (2) This bill changes from "finance and administration" to "commerce and insurance" the department to which a death certificate, affidavit, or notice, as applicable, must be submitted in order to comply with the statutes governing compensation for death of a correctional employee, community services employee, or emergency responder in the line of duty and continued health insurance for the spouse and dependents of a first responder killed in the line of duty.<br /> <br /> (3) This bill increases, for fiscal year 2022-2023, the state employer match to 200 percent of the amount contributed by each state employee to the state's 401(k) plan per month.<br /> <br /> ON APRIL 21, 2022, THE SENATE ADOPTED AMENDMENTS # 1 AND 2, AND PASSED SENATE BILL 2898, AS AMENDED.<br /> <br /> AMENDMENT #1 removes this bill's provisions, described above in the bill summary in (2), which would have changed from "finance and administration" to "commerce and insurance" the department to which a death certificate, affidavit, or notice, as applicable, must be submitted in order to comply with the statutes governing compensation for death of a correctional employee, community services employee, or emergency responder in the line of duty and continued health insurance for the spouse and dependents of a first responder killed in the line of duty.<br /> <br /> This amendment also exempts from sales tax the retail sale of food and food ingredients sold between Monday, August 1, 2022, and Wednesday, August 31, 2022.<br /> <br /> AMENDMENT #2 adds that the sales tax holiday on food and food ingredients does not exempt sales from micro markets or vending machines or devices.<br />
