Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the office of business enterprise to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 26 and Title 4, Chapter 29.
HB 1591 extends the existence of Tennessee's Office of Business Enterprise until June 30, 2030, by amending related sections of the Tennessee Code. The bill removes a reference to the office in Section 4-29-247(a) and adds it as a defined term in Section 4-29-251(a). This procedural bill does not change the office's duties or who it serves; it only delays the office's scheduled expiration date. The extension applies to the existing agency structure without altering its functions or scope.
