Appropriations - As enacted, authorizes direct and continuing appropriations by certain airport authorities for the issuance of debt that is not a liability of the state and the payment of debt service thereon. - Amends TCA Title 9.

SB 2454 amends Tennessee law to allow airport authorities (under Title 42, Chapters 3 or 4) to receive direct, permanent state appropriations for paying bond interest and principal on debt they issue. This means airport authorities can get ongoing state funds to cover their own bond payments without those debts counting as state liabilities. The bill specifically adds airport authorities to the list of entities eligible for such appropriations, alongside existing entities like housing agencies. It takes effect July 1, 2026, and clarifies that these appropriations are for debt service obligations indefinitely.
