AI Summary

This bill extends the advisory council on workers' compensation in Tennessee by modifying two sections of the state's legal code. Specifically, the bill removes an existing subdivision from Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new subdivision to Section 4-29-252(a) that explicitly references the advisory council on workers' compensation, which was originally created by § 50-6-121. The advisory council, which provides guidance and recommendations on workers' compensation issues, will now continue to operate until June 30, 2031, effectively renewing its mandate. By making these technical amendments, the Tennessee General Assembly is ensuring the continued existence and functioning of this important workers' compensation advisory body. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the final section, with the stated justification that it serves the public welfare.
