Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Tennessee emergency management agency to June 30, 2029. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 58, Chapter 2.
SB 92 extends the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) through June 30, 2029, by removing its automatic expiration date in state law. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated sections related to TEMA’s legal definition and operational framework, specifically updating references in Titles 4 and 58. This procedural change ensures TEMA continues operating without interruption, directly affecting how the agency manages state emergency response systems. The extension does not alter TEMA’s existing duties or funding but prevents it from sunsetting under current law.
