Bill > SB0054

This bill makes technical amendments to Tennessee's laws regarding the Board of Occupational Therapy, specifically extending the board's existence and updating administrative references. In Section 1, the bill removes subdivision (7) from Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 4-29-246(a), which likely relates to the board's prior sunset or review provision. In Section 2, the bill adds a reference to the Board of Occupational Therapy, created under Section 63-13-216, to another section of the administrative code, which appears to be a procedural update to ensure the board is properly recognized in state statutes. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare. The primary practical effect is to extend the Board of Occupational Therapy's authorization until June 30, 2029, ensuring continued legal oversight and regulation of occupational therapy professionals in Tennessee.
