HB 1585 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the local education insurance committee to June 30, 2032. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 8, Chapter 27, Part 3.

HB 1585 extends the sunset date for Tennessee's Local Education Insurance Committee to June 30, 2032, by amending Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 4-29-247 and 4-29-253. The bill removes a reference to a repealed provision and adds the committee as a defined entity in the code, ensuring its continued operation. This change directly affects the committee itself, which manages insurance programs for local education agencies. The extension prevents the committee's automatic termination, providing ongoing administrative structure for education insurance oversight.
