Education - As introduced, deletes an antiquated section, which required the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy at the University of Tennessee to, by December 15, 2014, perform a study on the economic feasibility of creating and utilizing a statewide comprehensive energy policy and submit its final report to the energy task force of the house of representatives. - Amends TCA Title 49.
HB 349 deletes an outdated requirement in state law that previously mandated the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy at the University of Tennessee to conduct a study on statewide energy policy feasibility by December 15, 2014, and submit its findings to the state energy task force. The bill removes Section 49-9-1410 of Tennessee Code Annotated, which contained this obsolete provision. This change affects the university center by eliminating a long-since-expired administrative duty with no current obligations. The bill is purely procedural, making no new policy changes or affecting any other entities or programs.
