Tennessee was one of several states that formed commissions on intergovernmental relations, patterned to some extent on the United States Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, during the 1970s and 1980s. [3]

Membership

The commission has 25 members, including 10 members and one appointee of the state legislature, 10 officials from local governments, two officials of the executive branch of the state government, and two private citizens. The legislative members are the chairmen of the Finance, Ways and Means committees of the two houses of the General Assembly, the Comptroller of the Treasury, four additional members of the Tennessee House of Representatives and four additional members of the Tennessee State Senate appointed to four-year terms. The local government members, all of whom are appointed to four-year terms, are four elected county officials, four elected municipal officials, one member nominated by the County Officials Association of Tennessee, and one member nominated by the state's development districts.[4]
