Senate Bill 442 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning the resignation of registered agents. The bill replaces the requirement for submitting "a copy of the original statement of resignation" and "a copy thereof" with a more streamlined process that mandates providing "written notice of the registered agent's resignation." This change is applied across multiple sections, including those related to agricultural, business, and corporate laws, ensuring consistency in the resignation process for registered agents.

The bill aims to simplify the resignation procedure by eliminating the need for copies of statements and instead focusing on written notice, which is expected to reduce administrative burdens for both agents and the entities they represent. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
