HB 227 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the advisory committee for children's special services to June 30, 2029. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 68, Chapter 12.

HB 227 extends the expiration date of Tennessee's Advisory Committee for Children's Special Services from its original sunset to June 30, 2029. The bill amends Tennessee Code Sections 4-29-246 and 4-29-250 to update the committee's operational timeline, referencing its existing creation under Section 68-12-106. This extension ensures the committee continues advising state agencies on children's special services programs without interruption. The change directly affects the committee's ongoing work and the children's services system it supports, with no new policy requirements or funding changes. The bill became law on March 26, 2025, and is effective immediately.
