The Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR) is an intergovernmental body of state and local governments in the U.S. state of Tennessee that has the purpose of providing a forum for discussion and resolution of intergovernmental problems and providing research support to improve the overall quality of government in that state. TACIR was established as a permanent nonpartisan body in 1978 by action of the Tennessee General Assembly.[1][2]
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
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]
