Bill Summary · SB 112

Legislative bill overview

SB 112 is a codification bill that formally incorporates all legislation passed during Tennessee's 2024 regular session into the state's official statutory code. This is routine housekeeping legislation that ensures new laws are properly organized and accessible in the compiled state statutes. The bill became effective March 12, 2025, and was published as Public Chapter 16.

Why is this important

Codification bills serve a critical administrative function by making newly enacted laws officially part of the state's legal framework in an organized, searchable format. Without codification, legislators, attorneys, judges, and the public would struggle to locate and reference new statutes scattered across multiple individual bills. This process ensures legal certainty and accessibility for all parties who need to comply with or enforce Tennessee law.

Potential points of contention

  • Technical corrections: Codification sometimes reveals ambiguities or technical conflicts between bills passed in the same session that require clarification or correction
  • Interpretation disputes: How specific statutory language is organized and cross-referenced during codification can occasionally affect legal interpretation
  • Delayed implementation: Some provisions may not take effect until codification is complete, potentially creating confusion about when certain laws actually begin
