AI Summary

This bill extends the sunset date for the inmate disciplinary oversight board, which is a body responsible for reviewing disciplinary actions against inmates, to June 30, 2028. It achieves this by amending Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 4, Chapter 29, which deals with the termination of state agencies and programs, by removing a specific subdivision that would have otherwise terminated the board. Additionally, the bill amends TCA Title 41, Chapter 21, Part 10, which likely outlines the creation and functions of the inmate disciplinary oversight board, by adding a new subdivision to ensure its continued existence. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, as it is deemed necessary for the public welfare.
