Senate Bill 1553 and House Bill 1610 propose amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning the Tennessee equine health advisory commission. Specifically, the bill deletes subdivision (59) from Section 4-29-247(a) and introduces a new subdivision in Section 4-29-251(a) that establishes the Tennessee equine health advisory commission, referencing its creation under Section 43-13-103.

The bill aims to streamline the legal framework surrounding the equine health advisory commission by removing outdated provisions and formally recognizing the commission's establishment. The changes are intended to enhance the governance and oversight of equine health in Tennessee, with the act taking effect immediately upon becoming law.
