Senate Bill 87 amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to update the provisions related to the Tennessee Board of Utility Regulation. Specifically, it deletes subdivision (41) from Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new subdivision in Section 4-29-250(a) that explicitly recognizes the Tennessee Board of Utility Regulation, which is established under Section 7-82-701.
The bill is designed to streamline the regulatory framework governing utility regulation in Tennessee by removing outdated language and clarifying the existence of the board. It is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the changes for public welfare.
