Bill > SB0180

This bill addresses the expiration of administrative rules in Tennessee by extending the effectiveness of certain permanent rules filed with the secretary of state on or after January 1, 2024. Specifically, rules that are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2025, will instead remain in effect until they are either repealed, amended by the appropriate rulemaking agency, or superseded by a legislative enactment. The bill includes an important caveat that this extension does not apply to rules that conflict with other legislative enactments outside of the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act. The legislation also includes a standard severability clause, which means that if any part of the act is found to be invalid, the rest of the act can still remain in effect. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the legislature's determination that it serves the public welfare by providing continuity and stability in administrative rules.
