SB 63 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the department of economic and community development to June 30, 2029. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 4, Chapter 3.

SB 63 extends the expiration date of Tennessee's Department of Economic and Community Development to June 30, 2029, by amending Tennessee Code Annotated sections in Title 4, Chapters 29 and 3. This change removes an existing sunset provision and updates the department's operational timeline without altering its responsibilities or funding. The bill ensures the department can continue its current functions - such as economic development programs and community initiatives - through 2029 without requiring new legislation. It was signed into law on April 24, 2025, and took effect immediately.
