HB 237 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Chickasaw basin authority to June 30, 2031. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 64, Chapter 1, Part 2.

HB 237 extends the Chickasaw Basin Authority's existence until June 30, 2031, preventing its automatic termination under sunset provisions. This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 4-29-246 and 4-29-252 to formally include the authority in relevant statutory references. The change directly affects the Chickasaw Basin Authority, which manages water resources in the Chickasaw Basin region. The bill removes an expiration date and ensures the authority can continue its operations without needing new legislation to maintain its legal status.
