SB 328 deletes an outdated requirement that previously mandated the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center at the University of Tennessee to study statewide energy policy feasibility by December 15, 2014, and submit a report to the House energy task force. This procedural bill removes a specific section of Tennessee law (TCA Title 49, Section 49-9-1410) that expired years ago, eliminating a now-irrelevant obligation with no ongoing impact on the university or state energy planning.
