HB 519 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

State Government - As enacted, terminates the James K. Polk Memorial Association and requires the Tennessee historical commission to enter into good faith negotiations for the purchase and transfer of the James K. Polk Home in Columbia. - Amends TCA Title 4.

HB 519 extends the reporting deadline for nonprofits partnering with Tennessee's Governor's Books from Birth Fund. It changes the requirement from a 90-day to a 180-day period after the fiscal year ends for these nonprofits to submit reports on their operations and accomplishments to the governor and legislative leaders. This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 4, specifically Section 4-52-109, to implement this change in reporting timelines. The adjustment directly affects nonprofit public benefit corporations working with the Books from Birth Fund program.
