HB 1589 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Northwest Tennessee human resource agency to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 13, Chapter 26.

HB 1589 extends the Northwest Tennessee human resource agency's operation until June 30, 2030, by amending Tennessee Code Sections 4-29-247 and 4-29-251 to remove its automatic expiration date. The bill directly affects the agency itself, ensuring its continued operation without requiring new legislation to maintain services. Key provisions involve updating legal references in state code to reflect this extension, specifically adding the agency to Section 4-29-251. This is a procedural adjustment to prevent the agency from sunsetting, not a change to its services or funding.
