Bill > HB0862

This bill requires the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR), a state research agency that studies policy issues affecting local and state governments, to conduct a comprehensive economic impact study of the cosmetology and barbering professions in Tennessee. The study will specifically examine the economic contributions of these industries, including the total revenue generated by their services and the number of jobs they create. TACIR is authorized to request information from the Department of Commerce and Insurance and other state and local government entities, which are required to comply with these requests. The study will be conducted using existing TACIR resources. Upon completion, TACIR must submit a detailed report with its findings and recommendations, potentially including proposed legislation, to the chairs of the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee and the House committee responsible for cosmetology and barbering. The report can be delivered electronically and will also be provided to the legislative librarian. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the legislature's view that understanding the economic impact of these professional sectors is important for public welfare.
