SB 58 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Bureau of TennCare within the department of finance and administration to June 30, 2029. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 71.

SB 58 extends the existence of the Bureau of TennCare within Tennessee's Department of Finance and Administration until June 30, 2029, preventing its automatic termination. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated sections 4-29-246 and 4-29-250 to formally establish the Bureau's continued operation under the Department of Finance and Administration. This change directly affects the administrative structure managing TennCare (the state's Medicaid program) by ensuring its ongoing oversight without requiring new legislation each year. The extension applies to the Bureau itself, not the TennCare program's eligibility or benefits for residents.
