Bill > HB0265

This bill extends the Tennessee board of utility regulation's existence until June 30, 2029, by making two specific amendments to Tennessee state law. First, the bill removes subdivision (41) from Section 4-29-246(a), which appears to be eliminating a previous reference or provision. Second, the bill adds a new subdivision to Section 4-29-250(a) that explicitly references the Tennessee board of utility regulation, which was originally created by § 7-82-701. The purpose of these amendments seems to be primarily administrative, ensuring the continued legal authorization of the utility regulation board. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the final section, which emphasizes that the public welfare requires its prompt implementation. These technical changes are typical of sunset extension bills that periodically reauthorize state regulatory bodies to continue their operations.
