SB 1537 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Sequatchie Valley educational development agency to June 30, 2032. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 64, Chapter 1, Part 5.

SB 1537 extends the expiration date of the Sequatchie Valley Educational Development Agency from its previous sunset date to June 30, 2032. The bill amends Tennessee Code sections in Titles 4 and 64 to remove outdated references and explicitly include the agency in the legal framework. This is a procedural adjustment that ensures the agency’s continued operation without altering its current structure or responsibilities. The change directly affects the Sequatchie Valley Educational Development Agency, allowing it to maintain its existing programs and functions through 2032. The bill does not create new policies or funding but maintains the agency’s legal status.
