Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Tennessee fish and wildlife commission to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 70, Chapter 1, Part 2.
HB 1611 extends the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission's existence until June 30, 2030, by amending two sections of Tennessee law (Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 70, Chapter 1, Part 2). The bill removes an outdated reference (subdivision (60)) from one code section and adds a new reference to the commission's creation in another. This procedural change directly affects the commission, which manages state wildlife programs, by ensuring its continued operation without needing reauthorization before 2030. The bill does not alter the commission's duties or funding, only its legal duration.
