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.
HB 1562 extends the expiration date of Tennessee's Board of Examiners in Psychology from its current date to June 30, 2031. It accomplishes this by amending Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 11, specifically removing a prior sunset provision that would have ended the board's authority earlier. This change ensures the board remains operational to oversee psychology licensing and professional standards until 2031. The bill directly affects psychology professionals who rely on the board for licensure and regulation, without altering the board's current functions or requirements.
