SB 2132 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Administrative Procedure (UAPA) - As enacted, generally establishes that permanent rules filed in the office of the secretary of state on or after January 1, 2025, that are in effect on the effective date of this act, and that are scheduled for expiration on June 30, 2026, do not expire on June 30, 2026, but remain in effect until repealed or amended by subsequent rule of the appropriate rulemaking agency or until otherwise superseded by legislative enactment. -

SB 2132 prevents certain state agency rules from automatically expiring on June 30, 2026. Specifically, it applies to permanent rules filed with the secretary of state on or after January 1, 2025, that are active when the bill takes effect and would otherwise expire on that date. These rules will remain in effect indefinitely until changed by the agency, new legislation, or repealed - rather than expiring as scheduled. The bill does not override other laws, ensuring rules cannot conflict with statutes outside the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act. This is a procedural adjustment to administrative rules, not a substantive policy change.
