House Bill 1654 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 4-4-102, by adding a new subsection that mandates the governor to forward proposed legislation to the chairs of the relevant government operations committees in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. This requirement is to be fulfilled during the first regular session of the General Assembly following any transfer of functions. The proposed legislation must include revisions to the Tennessee Code Annotated to reflect changes made by executive order as specified in this section.
The bill emphasizes the importance of updating legislative provisions in response to executive actions, ensuring that the state government operates cohesively and transparently. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting its urgency in maintaining the alignment of state governance with any executive changes.
