Sunrise Provisions for New Governmental Entities
✅Enacted law
This law creates sunrise provisions for certain governmental entities created during the 2025 legislative in Tennessee. Previously, there were sunset laws that required periodic review and reauthorization of some government agencies to ensure they remain necessary and effective. Now, with this new provision, newly established governmental bodies will have a process to justify their creation and continued existence from the start. This change affects any entity created during the 2025 legislative and requires them to undergo an initial review process. The exact effective date is not specified.
