HB 1605 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Tellico Reservoir development agency to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 64, Chapter 1, Part 7.

HB 1605 extends the expiration date of the Tellico Reservoir Development Agency from its current sunset date to June 30, 2030. This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated sections 4-29-247(a) and 4-29-251(a) to remove an outdated reference and formally include the agency within the relevant code sections. The bill directly affects the Tellico Reservoir Development Agency, which manages development and operations related to Tellico Reservoir. It does not create new policies or alter the agency's functions - only extends its legal existence. The change ensures the agency can continue its current work without needing new legislation before 2030.
