Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the board of examiners in psychology to June 30, 2031. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 11.
SB 1503 extends the operating period of Tennessee's Board of Examiners in Psychology until June 30, 2031, by amending two sections of state law (TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 11). This bill directly affects the board, which oversees psychology licensing and professional standards in Tennessee. The key change is updating the board's expiration date in the law, removing a prior sunset provision. The bill does not alter the board's duties or create new regulations, only prolonging its existing authority.
