The Legal Code of the Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature (TISL Code) is the official compilation of laws passed by the TISL General Assembly affecting the governance of TISL. The TISL Constitution requires the adoption of an Election Procedures Act (Art. V, Sec. 7) and a Financial Procedures Act (Art. IX, Sec. 3). |
The General Assembly can adopt other laws regarding the governance of TISL consistent with the TISL Constitution and with the general laws of Tennessee. The Secretary of State compiles the TISL Code in consultation with the Attorney General. |
