Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Tennessee council for career and technical education to June 30, 2027. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 49, Chapter 11, Part 2.
SB 1551 extends the Tennessee Council for Career and Technical Education's operational period until June 30, 2030, by removing its previous expiration date. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated sections related to career education (Title 4, Chapter 29) and the council's statutory authority (Title 49, Chapter 11). This procedural change ensures the council continues operating without needing new legislation before 2030, directly affecting its oversight of career and technical education programs statewide.
