Bill > SB2132

This bill generally extends the expiration date for permanent rules filed with the secretary of state on or after January 1, 2025, and in effect on the bill's enactment date, which were originally scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026. Instead of expiring, these rules will remain in effect until they are formally repealed or changed by the relevant agency, or superseded by new legislation. The Uniform Administrative Procedures Act (UAPA), compiled in Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, Chapter 5, is the existing law governing how state agencies create and manage rules, and this bill modifies its expiration provisions for certain rules. Importantly, this extension does not validate any rule that conflicts with other laws, and specific rules from the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission related to replication applications, filed on November 26, 2025, are explicitly exempted and will expire on the effective date of this act. The bill also includes a standard severability clause, meaning if any part of the act is found invalid, the rest will still apply.
