Senate Bill 1562 amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to update provisions related to the Tennessee state veterans' homes board. Specifically, it removes subdivision (68) from Section 4-29-247(a) and adds a new subdivision in Section 4-29-250(a) that formally recognizes the Tennessee state veterans' homes board, which is established under Section 58-7-102.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Tennessee state veterans' homes board must report to the education, health, and general welfare joint evaluation committee by December 31, 2026. This report is intended to provide updates on the board's progress in addressing findings from a performance audit report issued by the division of state audit in December 2025. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare.
