Caption

AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 41, Chapter 10, relative to the Tennessee community resource board.

Summary

SB0091 makes a narrow statutory change related to the Tennessee Community Resource Board. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 4, Chapter 29, which governs the state’s list of boards and commissions subject to periodic review and reauthorization, by removing the board from one section and adding it to another section that continues the board’s existence. In practical terms, this is a housekeeping measure that keeps the Tennessee Community Resource Board in law and aligns its placement within the state’s board-review framework. The bill does not create a new program, expand services, or change the board’s substantive duties. Instead, it updates the statutory references tied to the board created under Title 41, Chapter 10, ensuring the board remains properly authorized under Tennessee’s administrative law structure. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.

Impact

The bill affects Tennessee’s statutory framework for state boards and commissions by modifying the list of entities subject to sunset-style review under Title 4, Chapter 29. It removes the Tennessee Community Resource Board from one subsection and adds it to another, preserving the board’s legal status and continued operation under the code section that creates it. No direct changes are made to the board’s powers, membership, or duties, and no private parties are directly regulated by the measure.

Sentiment

The available legislative history suggests the bill was noncontroversial and received favorable treatment. The Senate Government Operations Committee recommended passage unanimously, with 6 yeas and 0 nays, and there is no recorded committee debate or opposition in the provided materials. The bill ultimately passed both chambers and was signed into law, indicating broad support or at least no significant resistance.

Contention

There are no notable points of contention in the provided record. Because the bill is a technical update to the state’s board-authorizing statutes, it appears to have been treated as a routine administrative measure rather than a policy dispute. The absence of committee transcript discussion and the unanimous committee vote suggest no identified opposition from legislators, affected agencies, or the public in the materials provided.
