Senate Bill 2092, also known as House Bill 1994, amends the Tennessee Code Annotated by adding a new section to Title 4, Chapter 10, which mandates the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR) to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the preparedness and response of local and state officials, departments, and agencies in relation to the Hurricane Helene natural disaster. The bill requires that all relevant local and state entities provide assistance to TACIR during this evaluation process.

Furthermore, TACIR is tasked with reporting its findings by January 31, 2027, which will include an assessment of the response to Hurricane Helene and recommendations for future disaster preparedness, including any proposed legislation. This report will be submitted to the state and local committee of the Senate, as well as the relevant committees in the House of Representatives that oversee local and state departments and agencies. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of improving disaster response strategies.
