SB 70 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As introduced, extends the human rights commission to June 30, 2029. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 21 and Title 4, Chapter 29.

SB 70 extends the Tennessee Human Rights Commission's operation until June 30, 2029, by amending state laws in Title 4, Chapters 21 and 29. The bill removes a reference to an expired provision (TCA § 4-29-246(a)(23)) and adds the commission's name to another legal section (TCA § 4-29-250(a)). This procedural change directly affects the Human Rights Commission, ensuring its continued functioning without requiring new legislative action. The bill does not alter the commission's duties or powers, only its operational timeline.
