Bill > HB0285

This bill addresses the expiration of administrative rules in Tennessee by extending the effective period for certain permanent rules filed with the secretary of state on or after January 1, 2024. Specifically, rules that were scheduled to expire on June 30, 2025, will now remain in effect until they are either repealed or amended by the appropriate rulemaking agency, or superseded by a new legislative enactment. The bill includes an important caveat that this extension does not apply to rules that conflict with other existing legislative provisions outside of the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act. Additionally, the bill includes a 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 legislation takes effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the state's determination that this rule extension serves the public welfare by providing continuity and stability in administrative regulations.
