Bill > HB0248

This bill extends the Tennessee Human Rights Commission's existence by amending two sections of the Tennessee Code. Specifically, the bill removes subdivision (23) from Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new subdivision to Section 4-29-250(a) that specifically references the human rights commission created by § 4-21-201. While the government-provided summary notes that the commission is extended until June 30, 2029, the bill text focuses on technical modifications to the legal code that ensure the commission's continued legal standing. The changes appear to be primarily administrative in nature, clarifying the commission's status within Tennessee's statutory framework. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 3, which emphasizes that the public welfare requires its prompt implementation. The modifications seem designed to maintain the operational continuity of the Tennessee Human Rights Commission without making substantive changes to its core functions or mandate.
