Bill > SB0059

This bill extends the existence of the Chickasaw Basin Authority by making two specific amendments to Tennessee state law. First, the bill removes a specific reference to the Chickasaw Basin Authority from Section 4-29-246(a), which appears to be a technical update to existing statutes. Second, the bill adds the Chickasaw Basin Authority to the list of entities in Section 4-29-252(a), which likely helps to officially recognize and codify the authority's continued operation. While the government-provided summary indicates that the authority is now extended until June 30, 2031, the bill text itself does not explicitly state this end date. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare. The Chickasaw Basin Authority is presumably a local governmental or administrative entity responsible for managing water resources or related infrastructure in the Chickasaw basin region of Tennessee.
