Bill > SB0096

This bill extends the Tennessee medical examiner advisory council (TMEAC) by making technical amendments to two sections of Tennessee state law. Specifically, the bill removes a reference to the TMEAC from one section of the Tennessee Code (Section 4-29-246(a)), and then adds a new reference to the council in another section (Section 4-29-250(a)), effectively continuing the council's existence. The bill ensures the TMEAC, which provides guidance and recommendations related to medical examiner operations in Tennessee, will remain an active advisory body. The legislation takes effect immediately upon becoming law, which means the council will continue to operate without interruption. While the government summary notes the council is extended until June 30, 2029, the bill text does not explicitly state this end date, though it implies the council's continued existence. The bill appears to be a routine administrative measure to maintain the ongoing work of the medical examiner advisory council.
