Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the state Alzheimer's disease and related dementia advisory council to June 30, 2031. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 68, Chapter 1, Part 1.
SB 1540 extends the state Alzheimer's disease and related dementia advisory council's operation until June 30, 2031, by updating Tennessee law. This bill directly affects the existing council, which advises state agencies on dementia care policies and programs. The key provision simply changes the council's expiration date in state code (TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 68, Chapter 1, Part 1) without creating new programs or funding. It is a routine procedural extension to ensure continuity of the council's work.
