Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Tennessee child fatality prevention team to June 30, 2031. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 68, Chapter 142, Part 1.
HB 1606 extends the Tennessee Child Fatality Prevention Team's legal existence until June 30, 2031, by amending two sections of Tennessee law (TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 68, Chapter 142, Part 1). This bill directly affects the team itself, which coordinates state efforts to review child fatalities and prevent future deaths. The key mechanism is simply changing the sunset date from its previous expiration to June 30, 2031, ensuring the team continues operating without needing new legislation. The bill does not create new programs, change funding, or alter the team's responsibilities.
