AI Summary

This bill extends the Tennessee Opioid Abatement Council's authorization until June 30, 2029, by making technical changes to existing state law. Specifically, the bill removes a previous reference to the council in Section 4-29-246(a) and then adds the Tennessee Opioid Abatement Council to the list of entities in Section 4-29-250(a). The Opioid Abatement Council is likely a state-level body established to address the ongoing opioid epidemic by coordinating prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts. The bill ensures the council's continued legal existence and ability to function, which suggests the state recognizes the ongoing importance of addressing opioid-related challenges. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the urgent public welfare considerations related to managing the opioid crisis.
