SB 82 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the standards committee, department of human services to June 30, 2031. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 71, Chapter 3.

SB 82 extends the expiration date for two state entities - the standards committee and the Department of Human Services (DHS) - from their previous sunset date to June 30, 2031. It modifies Tennessee law by removing a reference in state code (TCA § 4-29-246(a)(36)) and adding a new reference to DHS in another section (TCA § 4-29-252(a)). The bill ensures these groups can continue their current operations without interruption until the new expiration date. This is a technical adjustment to existing law, not a new policy change.
