Bill > SB0077

This bill extends the life of the medical cannabis commission in Tennessee by making technical amendments to state law. Specifically, the bill removes a previous reference to the medical cannabis commission from one section of the Tennessee Code (Section 4-29-246(a), Subdivision 30) and then adds a new reference to the commission in another section of the code (Section 4-29-250(a)). The bill effectively reaffirms the existence of the medical cannabis commission, which was originally created by statute § 68-7-102, and extends its operational authority until June 30, 2029. The changes appear to be administrative in nature, ensuring the continued legal standing of the commission without substantive changes to its structure or responsibilities. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the final section, with the rationale that it serves the public welfare.
