Sunset Laws - As introduced, extends the human rights commission to June 30, 2029. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 21 and Title 4, Chapter 29.
HB 248 extends the operating period of Tennessee's Human Rights Commission until June 30, 2029, by amending state code sections governing the commission. The bill specifically removes a reference to a sunset provision in Section 4-29-246(a) and adds the commission's creation under Title 4, Chapter 21 to Section 4-29-250(a). This change directly affects the commission's continued operation without altering its existing duties or structure. The primary effect is simply delaying the commission's expiration date to 2029, maintaining current oversight of human rights matters in Tennessee.
