Bill > HB0245

This bill makes technical amendments to Tennessee's state law regarding the emergency communications board, primarily focusing on extending its existence and updating related statutory references. Specifically, the bill removes a previous reference to the emergency communications board from Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new reference to the board in Section 4-29-252(a), which appears to be a legislative housekeeping measure to ensure accurate and current statutory language. The bill extends the emergency communications board's authorization through June 30, 2031, which means the board will continue to operate and provide critical emergency communication coordination services for Tennessee residents during that period. The legislation takes effect immediately upon becoming law, which signals the state legislature's determination that these changes are necessary for the public welfare. While the bill's technical nature might seem minor, it ensures the continued legal foundation for an important emergency response infrastructure that helps coordinate communication among first responders and emergency service providers.
