Bill 119 hr 144, also known as the Tennessee Valley Authority Reporting Exemption Act, is a piece of legislation that exempts certain reports required to be submitted by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) from the Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995. This exemption allows the TVA to continue submitting these reports without being subject to the requirements of the 1995 Act.

By exempting the TVA from the 1995 Act, Congress is acknowledging the unique role that the TVA plays in providing electricity and promoting economic development in the Tennessee Valley region.

It is important for Congress to carefully consider the implications of this bill and weigh the benefits of exempting the TVA from certain reporting requirements against the need for oversight and transparency in the TVA's operations.
