SB 1150 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Architects, Engineers and Designers - As introduced, requires the state board of examiners for architects and engineers to publish the time and place at which examinations to receive an engineer intern certificate or to register as a professional engineer are held and the acceptable grade necessary for passage of the examinations on the board's website. - Amends TCA Title 49; Title 62 and Title 63.

SB 1150 requires Tennessee's State Board of Examiners for Architects and Engineers to publish exam schedules, locations, and passing score requirements for engineer intern and professional engineer certifications on its official website. This applies directly to individuals seeking these licenses, including architects, engineers, and designers preparing for state licensing exams. The bill amends existing law (TCA Sections 62-2-405, 49, 62, and 63) to mandate this transparency, ensuring candidates can access clear, standardized information about exam administration. It does not change exam content, difficulty, or eligibility requirements - only how the board shares scheduling and scoring details. As a procedural transparency measure, the bill focuses on making existing exam processes more accessible to applicants.
