Bill > SB0055

This bill extends the Tennessee Board of Osteopathic Examination's authorization by making two specific amendments to state law. First, the bill removes subdivision (8) from Section 4-29-246(a), which likely involves eliminating a previous provision related to the board. Second, the bill adds language to Section 4-29-250(a) explicitly recognizing the Board of Osteopathic Examination, which was originally created under § 63-9-101, as an official board within the state's administrative structure. The practical effect of these changes is to continue the board's legal existence and operational authority through June 30, 2029, ensuring that the regulatory body overseeing osteopathic medical professionals in Tennessee remains in place. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the legislature's determination that the public welfare requires the continued functioning of this professional licensing and oversight board.
