SB 83 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the statewide planning and policy council for the department of mental health and substance abuse services to June 30, 2029. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 33, Chapter 1.

SB 83 extends the operating period of Tennessee's statewide planning and policy council for mental health and substance abuse services until June 30, 2029. This bill amends Tennessee Code Sections 4-29-246 and 4-29-250 to remove an expiration date and formally include the council within the relevant code sections. The extension directly affects the council itself and the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, ensuring continued advisory functions for state mental health planning. The bill does not create new policies or funding but maintains existing governance structures for mental health services.
