Sunset Laws - As introduced, extends the state energy policy council to June 30, 2027. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 68, Chapter 204.
HB 1602 extends the State Energy Policy Council's operation until June 30, 2027, preventing its automatic expiration. The bill amends Tennessee Code Sections 4-29-247 and 4-29-248 to update the council's sunset date and clarify its statutory reference. This procedural change directly affects the State Energy Policy Council by ensuring its continued existence and operations beyond the original expiration date. The bill does not alter the council's duties or policy recommendations, only its operational timeline.
