SB 79 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the perinatal advisory committee to June 30, 2029. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 68, Chapter 1, Part 8.

SB 79 extends the life of Tennessee's Perinatal Advisory Committee, preventing it from expiring on its original schedule. The bill amends state law (TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 68, Chapter 1, Part 8) to set a new end date of June 30, 2029, for the committee. This procedural change directly affects the committee's operations, ensuring it continues to advise the state on perinatal care issues until 2029. The bill does not alter the committee's responsibilities or funding, only its statutory timeline.
