SB 2133 Tennessee Senate · 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 regulations based on Congress's power to control interstate commerce. The bill defines these items as products grown, manufactured, or harvested in Tennessee using local raw materials that never leave the state's borders. By asserting that such intrastate activities fall under state authority rather than federal oversight, the legislation aims to limit the reach of federal laws over purely local economic transactions.
