Bill > SB0052

This bill makes technical amendments to Tennessee's statutes regarding the board of alcohol and drug abuse counselors, specifically extending the board's authorization. In Section 1, the bill removes a specific subdivision (subdivision (4)) from Section 4-29-246(a) of the Tennessee Code. In Section 2, the bill adds language explicitly recognizing the board of alcohol and drug abuse counselors, which was created by § 68-24-601, to a list of state boards or commissions. The bill's primary purpose appears to be administrative, ensuring the continued legal existence of the board by updating references to it in state law. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, and it extends the board's authorization until June 30, 2029, which will allow the board to continue its regulatory functions related to alcohol and drug abuse counseling professionals in Tennessee. The changes are relatively minor but important for maintaining the board's legal standing and operational continuity.
