HB 1184 removes outdated definitions of "contractor" and obsolete penalty rules from Tennessee's licensing statutes. It specifically amends Section 62-6-136 (which prohibits unlicensed contracting) by deleting redundant language and references to now-unused provisions. The bill affects the state's contractor licensing system and the legal framework governing unlicensed contracting activities. This is a technical cleanup of existing law, not a policy change, to ensure statutes reflect current licensing requirements without outdated references. The bill does not create new rules or penalties.
