Bill > HB1564

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 4, Chapter 29, which deals with the termination of state agencies, and Title 63, Chapter 3, which pertains to the practice of podiatry. Specifically, it removes a reference to the Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners from a list of agencies subject to termination under TCA 4-29-247(a), and then reinserts the Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners into a list of agencies that are exempt from this termination process under TCA 4-29-252(a). The Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners is the state body responsible for licensing and regulating individuals who practice podiatry, which involves the medical and surgical treatment of the foot, ankle, and related structures of the leg. By making these changes, the bill effectively extends the lifespan of the Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners, ensuring it continues to operate beyond its previously scheduled termination date.
