SB 2470 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Boards and Commissions - As introduced, transfers oversight of the board of boiler rules and the elevator and amusement device safety board from the department of labor and workforce development to the department of commerce and insurance. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 62 and Title 68.

SB 2470 transfers oversight of the Board of Boiler Rules and the Elevator and Amusement Device Safety Board from the Department of Labor and Workforce Development to the Department of Commerce and Insurance. The bill amends Tennessee Code sections to update administrative responsibility for these boards without changing their safety standards or regulatory functions. This transfer affects how these boards operate within state government but does not alter the rules they enforce for boiler safety or amusement device operations. The change is administrative, focusing on departmental management rather than policy substance.
