Bill Summary

As introduced, generally establishes that permanent rules filed in the office of the secretary of state on or after January 1, 2025, that are in effect on the effective date of this act, and that are scheduled for expiration on June 30, 2026, do not expire on June 30, 2026, but remain in effect until repealed or amended by subsequent rule of the appropriate rulemaking agency or until otherwise superseded by legislative enactment.

AI Summary

This bill, concerning agency rules scheduled to expire under Tennessee's Uniform Administrative Procedures Act (which outlines how state agencies create and enforce regulations), generally states that permanent rules filed with the secretary of state on or after January 1, 2025, that are currently in effect and set to expire on June 30, 2026, will not expire on that date. Instead, these rules will remain in effect until they are either formally repealed or changed by the relevant agency through a new rule, or until they are superseded by a new law passed by the legislature. The bill also clarifies that this extension does not validate any rule that might conflict with other existing laws, and it includes a standard severability clause, meaning if any part of the bill is found invalid, the rest will still apply.
