HB 2479 Tennessee House · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Business and Commerce - As enacted, declares that an intrastate commercial good that is produced in this state and that remains within the borders of this state is generally not subject to federal law or federal regulation under the authority of congress to regulate interstate commerce. - Amends TCA Title 4.

This Tennessee law declares that goods produced entirely within the state and sold only to other Tennessees are not subject to federal regulation under Congress's commerce power. The bill defines these items as products grown, harvested, or manufactured in Tennessee using only local raw materials that never leave the state's borders. By stating that such intrastate commerce falls under state authority rather than federal oversight, the legislation aims to limit the reach of federal laws over purely local business activities.
