Sunset Laws - As enacted, creates sunrise provisions for certain governmental entities created during the 2025 legislative session. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29; Title 8, Chapter 4, Part 6; Title 34, Chapter 3 and Title 40, Chapter 11, Part 3.
SB 1730 adds three specific Tennessee governmental entities to the state's sunset review process: the Advisory Committee on Open Government, the Board of Professional Bondsmen, and the Conservatorship Management Task Force. These entities, created by prior laws, will now have automatic expiration dates unless the legislature formally reauthorizes them. The bill amends Tennessee Code to include these groups in existing sunset provisions, requiring periodic legislative review to determine if they should continue operating. This change directly affects how these three entities are managed, ensuring their continued existence depends on active legislative approval.
