SB 1522 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the health facilities commission to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 68, Chapter 11, Part 2.

SB 1522 extends the existence of Tennessee's Health Facilities Commission until June 30, 2030, by amending Tennessee Code Annotated sections 4-29-247 and 68-11-203. This procedural bill removes a reference to the commission's expiration date and adds a new provision clarifying its creation under existing law. The commission, which oversees health facility regulations, is directly affected by this extension, ensuring its continued operation without new policy changes. The bill passed unanimously in the Senate and is now pending in the House.
