House Bill 1855, sponsored by Rudd, amends Tennessee Code Annotated by revising Section 28-1-113 regarding statutes of limitation. The bill specifies that the statutes of limitation in this title will apply to the state and its political subdivisions unless there is an explicit provision stating otherwise. This change aims to clarify the application of limitations on legal proceedings involving state entities.
The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and will apply to causes of action that accrue on or after that date. This timeline allows for a transition period before the new limitations framework is enforced.
