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 stipulates 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 continuation, reestablishment, or restructuring of any governmental entity that has been terminated under this new section, ensuring that there is a process in place for addressing the needs of these entities post-termination. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the changes for public welfare.
