Senate Bill 2248, sponsored by Johnson, amends Tennessee Code Annotated to enhance the reporting requirements during emergency conditions. Specifically, it modifies Section 58-2-104(c) by replacing the existing language that states, "During emergency conditions, the agency and director shall report," with a new requirement that they "shall report in writing, in addition to any other means." This change aims to ensure that there is a formal written record of reports made during emergencies, thereby improving accountability and communication.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of timely and effective emergency management practices for the welfare of the public.
