Bill > HB2197

This bill allows individuals applying for 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 determines the individual is disqualified due to their criminal history, they must provide 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 upon their receipt of either written or electronic notice of the disqualification. This change aims to streamline the process for individuals seeking occupational licenses by offering more flexible communication methods and clearer appeal timelines.
