Senate Bill 2632, also known as House Bill 2322, amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated related to bees. The bill specifically modifies Section 44-15-115 by designating the existing language as subsection (a) and adding a new subsection (b). This new subsection mandates that the commissioner must annually report the amount of fees, fines, and proceeds from the sale of seized properties collected under this chapter to the chairpersons of the relevant agriculture committees in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in the management of funds related to bee regulation. This legislative change aims to enhance oversight and ensure that the financial aspects of bee-related activities are properly communicated to legislative leaders.
