AI Summary
This bill allows individuals seeking an occupational license in Tennessee to request a pre-application determination of their eligibility based on their criminal history, and this request can now be submitted either in writing or electronically, rather than solely in writing. If the licensing authority, which is the government body responsible for issuing licenses, determines that an individual is disqualified due to their criminal history, they must provide a written notification explaining the reasons. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the 30-day period for an individual to appeal this disqualification to the Davidson County chancery court begins when they receive either written or electronic notice of the decision. This change aims to streamline the process for individuals and provide more flexibility in how they interact with licensing authorities regarding criminal history reviews.
