AI Summary
This bill makes technical amendments to Tennessee's legal code regarding the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services by removing a specific subdivision (number 18) from Section 4-29-246(a) and adding a new subdivision to Section 4-29-250(a) that explicitly references the department's creation under Tennessee Code Sections 4-3-101 and 4-3-1601. The bill essentially updates and clarifies statutory references to the department, effectively extending its legal authorization until June 30, 2029. The changes appear to be administrative in nature, ensuring that the department's legal foundation is accurately documented in the state's legal code. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the final section, with the stated justification that the public welfare requires these updates.
