Bill > SB1504

This bill amends Tennessee law to extend the sunset date for the Board of Optometry, meaning the board will continue to exist until June 30, 2031, rather than being automatically dissolved sooner. The bill also makes technical changes by removing a specific reference to the Board of Optometry from one section of state law (TCA 4-29-247(a)) and adding it as a new item to another list of boards (TCA 4-29-252(a)), which likely pertains to the oversight and continuation of various state licensing boards. These changes are considered necessary for the public welfare and the bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
