Bill > HB0231

This bill extends the Tennessee Board of Claims, which is a state administrative body that handles certain claims against the government, until June 30, 2031. Specifically, the bill makes two key changes to existing Tennessee law: first, it removes a specific subdivision (number 5) from Section 4-29-246(a), and second, it adds language explicitly referencing the Board of Claims in Section 4-29-252(a) as a newly recognized entity. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly. The purpose appears to be to continue the operation of the Board of Claims and potentially clarify its legal standing within the state's administrative framework. By extending the board's authorization, the bill ensures that citizens will continue to have a mechanism for seeking resolution of certain types of claims against the state government.
