Bill > HB1557

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Title 4, Chapter 29, which deals with the sunset review of state agencies, and Title 63, Chapter 4, which pertains to the practice of chiropractic. The key provisions involve the Board of Chiropractic Examiners, a body responsible for regulating and licensing chiropractors in Tennessee. The bill removes a specific subdivision from Section 4-29-247(a), which likely relates to the board's previous sunset review schedule or a specific provision being repealed. It then adds the Board of Chiropractic Examiners, created by Section 63-4-102, as a new subdivision to Section 4-29-252(a). This addition is significant because Section 4-29-252(a) is part of the state's sunset law, which requires agencies to be reviewed periodically to determine if they should continue to exist. By being listed in this section, the Board of Chiropractic Examiners is subject to the sunset review process, meaning its existence and functions will be evaluated by the legislature to ensure it remains necessary and effective. The bill also states that it takes effect immediately upon becoming law, indicating its importance for public welfare.
