Bill > SB1504

This bill amends Tennessee law to ensure the Board of Optometry, which is responsible for regulating the practice of optometry in the state, continues its operations until June 30, 2031. Specifically, it removes a reference to the Board of Optometry from one section of Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 4, Chapter 29, which likely deals with the general oversight and sunset provisions for various state boards, and then reinserts it into another section of the same chapter, likely to clarify its inclusion within a list of boards subject to specific regulations or review processes. The bill also makes a technical change to TCA Title 63, Chapter 8, which pertains to the regulation of optometry itself, though the specific nature of this change is not detailed in the provided text beyond its inclusion in the bill's scope. The overall effect is to extend the lifespan of the Board of Optometry and potentially refine its administrative placement within state law.
