Bill > SB1513

This bill extends the operational authority of the Department of Children's Services until June 30, 2028, and requires the department to provide an update to the education, health, and general welfare joint evaluation committee by December 31, 2026, detailing its progress in addressing issues identified in a performance audit report from December 2025. The bill also makes a technical amendment by removing a reference to the Department of Children's Services from a specific section of Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) related to the sunset review of state agencies, while simultaneously adding it back in another section, ensuring its continued inclusion in the relevant legal framework.
