SB 1264 establishes June 30 as the standard expiration date for most agricultural licenses issued by Tennessee's Department of Agriculture, replacing the previous July 1 deadline. It directly affects license holders in regulated agricultural activities, including milk samplers/testers, liming materials distributors, and other permittees covered under Title 43 and related chapters. The bill amends multiple statutes to update expiration language, removing references to "July 1" and specifying "June 30" or "annually" for license renewals. This change streamlines administrative processes for license renewals but excludes forestry licenses from the new requirement. The bill was enacted into law as Public Chapter 207.
