Bill > HB0239

This bill extends the Tennessee Commission on Firefighting Personnel Standards and Education by modifying two sections of the Tennessee Code. Specifically, the bill removes subdivision (14) from Section 4-29-246(a), which likely relates to the commission's existing provisions, and then adds language inserting the "Commission on firefighting personnel standards and education, created by § 4-24-101" into Section 4-29-252(a). The primary purpose appears to be to continue the commission's existence and operations, effectively extending its authorization to June 30, 2031, as noted in the government summary. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the legislation emphasizing that it is in the interest of public welfare. This type of legislative action is routine for maintaining state commissions and ensuring their continued legal authority to function and regulate firefighting personnel standards and education in Tennessee.
