AI Summary

This bill extends the time period for individuals in healthcare-related professions to file a petition in Davidson County chancery court after receiving a notice of license denial or non-renewal based on a prior criminal conviction. Specifically, the bill changes the current 30 business day window to 60 business days, giving healthcare professionals (such as doctors, nurses, or other licensed medical personnel) additional time to challenge a licensing authority's decision. The change is made to Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 63-1-130(c), and will take effect on July 1, 2025. By providing more time for individuals to prepare and submit their legal petitions, the bill offers increased procedural flexibility for healthcare professionals who may have been denied a license or license renewal due to past criminal convictions, potentially giving them a more meaningful opportunity to present their case or appeal the decision.
