Bill > HB0241

This bill makes technical amendments to Tennessee's legal code regarding the Department of Economic and Community Development. Specifically, the bill removes a subdivision (number 16) from Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new provision to Section 4-29-250(a) that formally recognizes the Department of Economic and Community Development as an established department under Tennessee law, referencing its original creation in Sections 4-3-101 and 4-3-701. The bill effectively extends the department's legal authorization and ensures its continued operation until June 30, 2029, which is a standard legislative practice for maintaining government agencies. The changes appear to be primarily administrative in nature, updating statutory references and ensuring the department's continued legal standing. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the final section, which emphasizes that the public welfare requires its prompt implementation.
