HB 2559 requires Tennessee's Economic and Community Development Commissioner to study whether establishing a "Oak Ridge Energy Park" development corridor in Anderson and Roane counties is feasible. The bill directs the commissioner to complete this research and submit a report to the governor by December 31, 2026.

The bill is procedural and does not make any immediate policy changes.
