Bill > HB0268

This bill extends the sunset date for the Tennessee Code Commission, a governmental body responsible for maintaining and updating the state's legal code, to June 30, 2033. Specifically, the bill removes an existing reference to the Code Commission in Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new section to the Tennessee Code that explicitly states the Commission will terminate on June 30, 2033, unless it is continued, reestablished, or restructured. Additionally, the bill includes a broader provision that any governmental entities created during calendar year 2031 will also terminate on the same date. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, which is typical for legislation deemed to be in the public interest. By extending the Code Commission's existence, the bill ensures continued oversight and maintenance of Tennessee's legal statutes for another decade.
