HB 1621 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Upper Cumberland human resource agency to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 13, Chapter 26.

HB 1621 extends the operational authorization of the Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency until June 30, 2030, by amending Tennessee state law to update its sunset date. This bill directly affects residents in the Upper Cumberland region, who rely on the agency for workforce development and human services. The key provision modifies two sections of Tennessee Code (Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 13, Chapter 26) to remove an existing expiration date and establish the new deadline. The change ensures the agency can continue providing services without needing reauthorization before 2030.
