AI Summary

This bill extends the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), a formal agreement between states that allows them to provide mutual aid and support during emergencies or disasters, by setting its termination date to June 30, 2033. The bill amends Tennessee state law by removing a previous reference to the EMAC in Section 4-29-246(a) and adding a new section that specifically lists the Emergency Management Assistance Compact among governmental entities set to terminate on June 30, 2033. Additionally, the bill includes a provision that any governmental entity terminated under this section may be continued, reestablished, or restructured in accordance with existing state law. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by ensuring continued interstate emergency cooperation and support mechanisms are in place through 2033.
