HB 2334 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Boards and Commissions - As introduced, transfers oversight of the board of boiler rules and the elevator and amusement device safety board from the department of labor and workforce development to the department of commerce and insurance. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 62 and Title 68.

HB 2334 transfers oversight of the Elevator and Amusement Device Safety Board and the Board of Boiler Rules from the Department of Labor to the Department of Commerce and Insurance. This administrative change affects how safety standards for elevators, amusement rides, and boiler systems are managed. The bill updates Tennessee law to reflect this departmental shift and includes new definitions for amusement devices and safety equipment in Title 62. It does not change existing safety regulations but alters which state department administers the oversight.
