Summary of Senate Bill 91 (SB 91) / House Bill 269 (HB 269)

Jurisdiction

  • Tennessee
  • Session: 114th
  • Title: Sunset Laws – As enacted, extends the Tennessee Community Resource Board to June 30, 2031
  • Amends: Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 41, Chapter 10

Purpose and Intent

  • The bill extends the termination (sunset) date of the Tennessee Community Resource Board (the board) to June 30, 2031. Under existing law, the board is scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2025, under the Tennessee Governmental Entity Review Law.
  • By extending the lifespan of the board, the bill aims to maintain the board’s functions, oversight, and any ongoing programs or responsibilities related to community resources as governed by statute.

Key Provisions

  1. Sunset Extension

    • Extends the board’s termination date from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2031.
    • This aligns with a longer continuation of the board’s authority and existence rather than immediate dissolution.

  2. Statutory References and Adjustments

    • Section 1: Removes subdivision (45) from TCA 4-29-246(a). This is a housekeeping adjustment related to the prior enumeration of responsibilities or entities within the chapter.
    • Section 2: Adds a new subdivision to TCA 4-29-252(a) recognizing the Tennessee Community Resource Board as created by § 41-10-105.
    • Section 3: Effective date is upon becoming law (no separate delay).

Affected Entities and Programs

  • Tennessee Community Resource Board: The primary entity affected. The board is continued beyond the prior sunset date and remains in existence through June 30, 2031.
  • State Agencies/Departments: Likely impacted indirectly through continuing oversight and collaboration with the board, though no new funding or program expansions are specified in the bill.
  • Funding and Expenditures: Fiscal notes indicate no new significant expenditures are anticipated; the continuation is at the current funding level.

Financial and Fiscal Impact

  • Fiscal Note Summary: Not significant.
  • Assumptions:
    • The legislation maintains the existing funding level for the board.
    • The Department of Correction reports no expenditures for the board in FY2022-23 or FY2023-24, suggesting minimal ongoing costs or a status of limited or no program funding in those years.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Effective Date: Immediate upon becoming law.
  • Legislative History Highlights:
    • 2025-03-24: Comp. became Public Chapter 35
    • 2025-02-24 to 2025-02-12: Various committee and floor actions; companion House bill progressed in parallel
    • 2025-01 to 2025-02: Introduction and initial readings; sponsor additions (Senator Jackson; House companion by Lafferty)

Key Takeaways

  • The bill is a relatively narrow sunset-extension measure focused on the Tennessee Community Resource Board.
  • It does not introduce new programs or substantial funding changes; rather, it ensures continuity of the board’s existence through 2031.
  • The extension minimizes administrative disruption and maintains current governance and oversight arrangements.
