SB 287 removes a requirement for Tennessee's comptroller to submit annual reports to the legislature about a pilot program allowing municipal electric systems to expand services beyond their usual areas. This affects the comptroller's office and municipal electric systems that participated in the pilot program. The bill deletes a specific reporting obligation from state law (originally tied to a 2008 deadline) without changing the pilot program's operational rules. The key change is eliminating the need for ongoing legislative reporting on whether the pilot should continue or expand. This is a procedural adjustment with no new requirements or funding impacts.
