Bill > HB2530

This bill makes several changes to how various professions are regulated in Tennessee, primarily by consolidating oversight and adjusting administrative procedures. Key provisions include transferring the oversight of land surveyors from their own board to the state board of examiners for architects and engineers, and removing the registration requirement for interior designers, meaning they will no longer need to be officially registered to practice. Additionally, the bill alters how funds generated from contractor licensing fees are used, specifically removing a provision that required a portion of these revenues to be allocated to the Go Build Tennessee Act, which aimed to promote construction careers. The bill also updates various sections related to professional licensing, including requirements for board members, application processes, and disciplinary actions for architects, engineers, land surveyors, and interior designers, and makes changes to regulations for contractors, electricians, plumbers, and detection services.
