AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee state law regarding contractor licensing, specifically updating Section 62-6-136 which governs the representation of contractors. The bill removes certain obsolete references and clarifies language around what constitutes unlawful representation as a contractor. Specifically, it maintains the existing prohibition on individuals, firms, or corporations representing themselves as licensed contractors or acting in a contractor capacity without being properly licensed under state regulations. The bill also removes specific references to sections 62-37-114 and 62-37-127, which appear to be outdated statutory citations. The changes are technical in nature and aim to clean up and streamline existing contractor licensing statutes. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as deemed necessary for the public welfare, which suggests these changes are considered important for maintaining clear and current regulations in the contracting industry.
