Bill > SB0069

This bill extends the Tennessee Genetic Advisory Committee's existence by modifying two sections of Tennessee state law. Specifically, the bill removes a previous reference to the genetic advisory committee from Section 4-29-246(a), and then adds a new reference to the committee in Section 4-29-250(a), effectively reaffirming its status. The bill appears to be a routine legislative action to continue the committee's operations, extending its authorization until June 30, 2029, as noted in the government summary. The Genetic Advisory Committee, which is created under Section 68-5-503 of Tennessee law, likely provides guidance or oversight related to genetic research, testing, or policy. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the final section, which emphasizes the public welfare rationale for its implementation. This type of legislative action is common to ensure the continued existence and funding of advisory committees and other state-level bodies.
