Senate Bill 60 amends the Tennessee Code Annotated by removing subdivision (13) from Section 4-29-246(a) and introducing a new section, 4-29-254, which establishes a termination date for certain governmental entities. Specifically, the bill states that the Civil Defense and Disaster Compact, as created by Section 58-2-402, will terminate on June 30, 2033. Additionally, it specifies that any department, commission, board, agency, or council of state government created during the calendar year 2031 will also terminate on the same date.
The bill allows for the possibility of reestablishing or restructuring any governmental entity that has been terminated under this new section, ensuring that there is a process in place for continuity if needed. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the changes proposed.
