HB 232 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the board of occupational therapy to June 30, 2029. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 13.

HB 232 extends the expiration date of Tennessee's Board of Occupational Therapy from its original sunset date to June 30, 2029. It amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 13, by removing a provision that would have terminated the board's authority. This change directly affects the board's ongoing operations, ensuring continued oversight of occupational therapy licensing and practice standards in Tennessee. The bill does not alter licensing requirements or create new regulations, only delaying the board's automatic termination.
