AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) by making changes related to the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC), which is the state agency responsible for overseeing higher education in Tennessee. Specifically, the bill removes a reference to the THEC from a list of agencies in TCA Section 4-29-247(a) and then reinserts it as a new subdivision in TCA Section 4-29-251(a), effectively updating its placement within the state's code. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
