Senate Bill 68 amends the Tennessee Code Annotated by removing subdivision (21) from Section 4-29-246(a) and introducing a new section, 4-29-254. This new section establishes that certain governmental entities, including the Emergency Management Assistance Compact created by Section 58-2-403, will terminate on June 30, 2033. Additionally, it states 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 provision. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the changes for public welfare.
