SB 1549 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Tennessee child fatality prevention team to June 30, 2031. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 68, Chapter 142, Part 1.

SB 1549 extends the Tennessee child fatality prevention team's operation until June 30, 2031, by removing an earlier expiration date in state law. The bill amends two sections of Tennessee Code (Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 68, Chapter 142) to update the team's statutory authorization. This extension directly affects the team's ability to continue reviewing child fatalities and developing prevention strategies. The change ensures the team’s ongoing work to reduce child deaths remains funded and operational through 2031.
