SB 101 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Tennessee Technological University, board of trustees, to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 49, Chapter 8.

SB 101 extends the term of the Tennessee Technological University Board of Trustees until June 30, 2030, by removing an existing expiration date in the law. The bill amends Tennessee Code Sections 4-29-246 and 4-29-251 to eliminate a 2025 sunset provision and establish a new 2030 expiration. This change directly affects the university's governing board, ensuring its continued operation without requiring reauthorization. The bill was signed into law on April 24, 2025, and is now effective.
