HB 1576 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the department of labor and workforce development to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29; Title 4, Chapter 3 and Title 50.

HB 1576 extends the legal existence of Tennessee's Department of Labor and Workforce Development until June 30, 2030, removing an automatic expiration date. The bill directly affects the department by ensuring its continued operation without needing reauthorization before 2030. It amends specific Tennessee Code sections (Title 4, Chapters 29 and 3; Title 50) to update references and remove sunset provisions, making the extension permanent under current law. This is a procedural change to maintain departmental continuity, not a new policy.
