Bill > HB0278

This bill extends the Tennessee Public Television Council's existence by modifying state statutes related to state agencies and councils. Specifically, the bill removes the existing sunset provision (subdivision 54) from Section 4-29-246(a), which previously would have terminated the council, and adds the Tennessee Public Television Council to Section 4-29-251(a) as a continuing state agency. By making these changes, the bill effectively extends the council's operational authority until June 30, 2030, ensuring that the organization can continue its work of managing and supporting public television services in Tennessee. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, which means the Tennessee Public Television Council will remain an active state entity without interruption. The modifications are technical in nature and primarily serve to provide administrative continuity for the public television council.
