HB 1575 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the department of human services to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 4, Chapter 3.

HB 1575 extends the existence of Tennessee's Department of Human Services until June 30, 2030, preventing its automatic termination under prior sunset provisions. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 4-29-247 and 4-29-251 to remove an outdated reference and clarify the department's legal definition. This is a procedural bill focused solely on maintaining the department's ongoing operation without changing its services, funding, or responsibilities. It directly affects the Department of Human Services by ensuring its continued legal authority through 2030.
