Bill > SB0283

This bill amends Tennessee's laws regarding septic system installer licensing by removing the requirement for renewal fees for installers who are in good standing with the state department. Currently, installers of subsurface sewage disposal systems (septic system professionals) must pay a fee to renew their professional license periodically. Under this proposed legislation, while the initial permit and fee requirements remain unchanged, licensed installers will no longer need to pay a renewal fee to maintain their license, provided they continue to meet the department's standards of good standing. The bill is specifically targeting Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 68, Chapter 221, which governs environmental and health-related regulations for sewage disposal systems. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, with the stated purpose of benefiting public welfare by potentially reducing administrative burdens and costs for professional septic system installers.
