Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the department of human services to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 4, Chapter 3.

SB 1517 extends the operation of Tennessee's Department of Human Services until June 30, 2030, by amending state code to remove an automatic expiration date. The bill directly affects the Department of Human Services, which administers programs like Medicaid, food assistance, and child welfare services. Key provisions include deleting an existing expiration reference and adding a new definition confirming the department's structure under state law. This is a procedural extension to ensure continuity of essential social services without altering program rules or funding. The bill passed the Senate unanimously (33-0) and is now pending in the House.
