Bill > HB0270

This bill makes technical amendments to Tennessee's legal code regarding the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA). Specifically, the bill removes a specific subdivision (46) from Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new subdivision to Section 4-29-250(a) that explicitly references the Tennessee emergency management agency, which was originally created by Sections 58-2-103 and 58-2-104. The bill effectively extends the legal authorization for TEMA, ensuring its continued operation until June 30, 2029. The changes appear to be primarily administrative in nature, updating statutory references and confirming the agency's ongoing legal status. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 3, which emphasizes that the public welfare requires its prompt implementation. These modifications help maintain the legal framework for Tennessee's emergency management infrastructure and ensure continuity of the agency's critical public safety functions.
