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.
SB 54 extends the operating period of Tennessee's Board of Occupational Therapy until June 30, 2029, preventing its automatic expiration. This procedural bill amends two sections of Tennessee law (TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 13) to update references and remove outdated provisions related to the board's structure. The bill directly affects the Board of Occupational Therapy by ensuring its continued operation to oversee occupational therapy licensing and practice standards. It does not change licensing requirements, fees, or other substantive regulations for occupational therapists. This extension maintains the current administrative structure without introducing new policy changes.
