Tennessee Code Title 50. Employer and Employee § 50-6-623

Before the fund established by this part shall enter into any contract, except for consulting services, or issue any bonds, or incur any liability, the board of directors shall submit organizational and operating plans for the fund to a review committee for approval. The review committee shall consist of the administrator of the workers' compensation bureau, the commissioners of commerce and insurance, and finance and administration, the state treasurer, and the comptroller of the treasury. The review committee shall approve the operational and organizational plans if it determines the plans to be in accord with this part and to be fiscally sound and responsible. If the committee approves the plan, then the fund may become fully operational. If the committee does not approve the plan, then the committee shall make appropriate recommendations to the board of directors, governor, and the speakers of the senate and house of representatives concerning any deficiencies.
