Bill > SB0099

This bill makes technical amendments to Tennessee's legal code regarding the Tennessee Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission by updating references and maintaining the commission's legal standing. Specifically, the bill removes a reference to the POST Commission from one section of the Tennessee Code (Section 4-29-246(a), which deletes subdivision (53)), and then adds a new reference to the POST Commission in another section (Section 4-29-252(a)) to ensure the commission is properly recognized in state statutes. The Tennessee POST Commission, which is responsible for establishing professional standards, training requirements, and certification for law enforcement officers in the state, will continue to operate with its existing authority. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, and it effectively extends the commission's legal authorization through June 30, 2031, ensuring continuity of oversight for Tennessee's law enforcement professional standards.
