HB 1028 amends Tennessee law to remove outdated transitional language regarding physician assistant board members who were transferred from a previous committee to the new board in 2021. Specifically, it deletes provisions about their appointment terms (with the longest term expiring in 2024) and eliminates a restriction limiting these members to two consecutive four-year terms on the new board, including prior service on the old committee. This change updates the legal code to reflect the current board structure without altering substantive governance rules. The bill affects current and future members of the Tennessee Board of Physician Assistants who were appointed under the 2021 transition. It is a procedural adjustment with no new policy or funding impacts.
