Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Tennessee-Ireland trade commission to June 30, 2028. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 4, Chapter 3, Part 7.
HB 1613 extends the Tennessee-Ireland trade commission's operation until June 30, 2028, by amending Tennessee law (specifically TCA Title 4, Chapters 29 and 3, Part 7). The bill removes an outdated reference to the commission in existing law and adds a new provision formally naming the commission under its established authority. This change directly affects the commission itself, allowing it to continue facilitating trade and business connections between Tennessee and Ireland beyond its original expiration date. The bill does not create new programs or alter existing trade policies, only extending the commission’s current operational period.
