Bill > SB0067

This bill extends the Emergency Communications Board's authorization until June 30, 2031, by making technical amendments to Tennessee state law. Specifically, the bill removes a previously existing reference to the board in Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new reference to the Emergency Communications Board in Section 4-29-252(a), which appears to be a legislative housekeeping measure to ensure the board's continued legal standing. The Emergency Communications Board is likely a state-level entity responsible for coordinating and managing emergency communication systems and services across Tennessee. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the final section, with the stated justification that it serves the public welfare. While the changes may seem minor, they are important for maintaining the legal framework that allows the Emergency Communications Board to continue its critical work of supporting emergency response communications throughout the state.
