HB 1586 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the local government insurance committee to June 30, 2032. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 8, Chapter 27, Part 7.

HB 1586 extends the expiration date of Tennessee's Local Government Insurance Committee from its original sunset to June 30, 2032. This bill directly affects local governments that rely on the committee for oversight of insurance programs, ensuring continued administrative structure. It amends Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 4-29-247 and 4-29-253 to remove outdated references and formally reference the committee's creation under Section 8-27-701. The change is procedural, maintaining the committee's role without altering its responsibilities or creating new policy requirements.
