This bill officially removes the Tennessee job skills program and its associated funding from state law. The legislation amends numerous sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to delete the specific legal authority that established and maintained this workforce training initiative. By eliminating these provisions, the state effectively ends the program and stops the allocation of money designated for it. This change is part of broader statutory revisions required to align state laws with the annual budget passed by the legislature.
