Senate Bill 885, sponsored by Reeves, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 67-4-2004(9)(A), to include nuclear energy production facilities in the definition of energy sources. The bill replaces the phrase "and wind sources" with "wind sources, and nuclear energy production facilities," thereby expanding the scope of recognized energy sources within the state's legal framework.
The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of adapting energy legislation to include nuclear energy as a viable option alongside wind energy. This change reflects a growing recognition of the role that nuclear energy can play in the state's energy portfolio.
Statutes affected: Introduced: 67-4-2004(9)(A), 67-4-2004
