Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Interstate Earthquake Compact of 1988 to June 30, 2033. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 58, Chapter 2.

HB 253 extends Tennessee's participation in the Interstate Earthquake Compact of 1988 until June 30, 2033, by adding this sunset date to Tennessee law. The bill directly affects Tennessee's ability to coordinate earthquake response efforts with other states under this multi-state agreement. Key provisions amend Tennessee Code to specify that the compact terminates on June 30, 2033, unless renewed, and align with existing sunset procedures for state entities. This is a procedural extension of an existing agreement, not a new policy. The bill became law on March 21, 2025.
