Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the office of business enterprise to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 26 and Title 4, Chapter 29.
SB 1533 extends the operational lifespan of Tennessee's Office of Business Enterprise to June 30, 2030, by amending sunset provisions in the state code. This procedural bill directly affects the Office of Business Enterprise, which supports business development initiatives, by preventing its automatic termination. The bill modifies Tennessee Code Annotated sections 4-29-247 and 4-29-251 to remove an expired reference and clarify the office's authority. It does not create new policies or impact businesses or residents directly. The change is purely administrative, ensuring the office continues operating under its existing framework.
