Bill > HB0881

This bill amends Tennessee's laws regarding septic system installer licensing by eliminating the requirement for renewal fees for installers who are in good standing with the state department. Currently, septic system installers must pay a fee to renew their professional license, but under this proposed legislation, those who have maintained a good standing with the department would be exempt from paying these renewal fees. The bill maintains the initial permit and fee requirements for obtaining a septic system installer license, meaning new installers would still need to pay an initial fee to become licensed. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, which suggests the state legislature wants to give ample time for administrative preparation. By removing the renewal fee, the bill could potentially reduce the financial burden on professional septic system installers while still ensuring they maintain appropriate professional standards through the "good standing" requirement.
