HB 246 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Emergency Management Assistance Compact to June 30, 2033. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 58, Chapter 2.

HB 246 extends the expiration date of Tennessee's Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) to June 30, 2033. The EMAC is a system enabling states to share emergency resources like personnel and equipment during disasters, directly affecting Tennessee's emergency response coordination with other states. The bill amends Tennessee law to set this new termination date for the EMAC, ensuring its continued operation until 2033. It also includes a separate provision stating that any state governmental entities created in 2031 will terminate on June 30, 2033.
