SB 87 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Tennessee board of utility regulation to June 30, 2029. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 7, Chapter 82.

This bill extends the existence of the Tennessee Board of Utility Regulation until June 30, 2029, preventing its automatic dissolution. It directly affects the board by modifying two sections of Tennessee law (Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 7, Chapter 82) to remove an outdated reference and formally recognize the board's creation. The key mechanism is amending the statutes to extend the board's operational period, ensuring continued oversight of utility regulation in Tennessee without changing its core responsibilities.
