HB 1561 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the board of examiners for architects and engineers to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 62, Chapter 2.

HB 1561 extends the existence of Tennessee's Board of Examiners for Architects and Engineers until June 30, 2030, by amending state code sections related to the board's authority. The bill removes an expiration date and updates references to the board in Tennessee Code (Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 62, Chapter 2). This procedural change directly affects the board itself, ensuring it continues operating without needing reauthorization before 2030. It does not alter licensing requirements or fees for architects or engineers.
