SB 1514 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the department of disability and aging to June 30, 2028. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 4, Chapter 3.

This bill extends the existence of Tennessee's Department of Disability and Aging until June 30, 2028, by amending two sections of the Tennessee Code (Title 4, Chapters 29 and 3). It removes an outdated reference to the department in one section and adds a clear definition of the department in another section. The bill directly affects the department's legal status and its ability to continue serving Tennesseans with disabilities and aging populations. This is a procedural extension to prevent the department from automatically terminating, not a change to its programs or funding.
