Bill > HB1593

This bill extends the sunset date for the professional art therapist advisory committee of the board of examiners in psychology, meaning the committee will continue to exist and operate until June 30, 2031. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA), which is the official compilation of the state's laws, specifically in Title 4, Chapter 29, which deals with the termination of state agencies and programs, and Title 63, Chapter 11, Part 4, which likely pertains to the regulation of psychology and related professions. By removing a specific subdivision related to the committee from one section and then reinserting a reference to the committee in another, the bill ensures its continued legal standing and operational authority. The "sunset date" is a provision that automatically terminates a law or agency on a specific date unless it is renewed by the legislature, and this bill's primary purpose is to push that termination date further into the future.
