Energy - As introduced, changes the administrative, reporting, oversight, and accountability of the state energy policy council from the state energy policy council to the department of economic and community development and the department of environment and conservation. - Amends TCA Title 68, Chapter 204.
HB 747 reassigns the administrative, reporting, oversight, and accountability duties of Tennessee's State Energy Policy Council from the council itself to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development and the Department of Environment and Conservation. The bill requires the council to produce an initial report by July 1, 2026, detailing energy source goals, current capabilities, and assessments of future energy systems. It also mandates that future reports be published at least every two years, distributed to relevant legislative committees, and posted online. This change directly affects how the council operates and integrates its work with the two state departments.
