Senate Bill 87 proposes amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning the Tennessee board of utility regulation. Specifically, it deletes subdivision (41) from Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new subdivision to Section 4-29-250(a) that formally recognizes the Tennessee board of utility regulation, which is established under Section 7-82-701.
The bill aims to streamline the legal framework surrounding utility regulation in Tennessee by removing outdated provisions and clarifying the existence of the board. The changes are intended to enhance the governance and oversight of utility services in the state, with the act taking effect immediately upon becoming law.
