Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the board of optometry to June 30, 2031. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 8.

HB 1563 extends the Board of Optometry's existence until June 30, 2031, preventing its automatic expiration under Tennessee's Sunset Law. This bill directly affects the Board of Optometry, which oversees optometry licensing and practice regulations in Tennessee. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated sections 4-29-247(a) and 4-29-252(a) to remove an outdated reference and clarify the board's legal foundation. These changes ensure the board can continue operating without needing new legislation before 2031. The bill does not alter optometry practice rules or licensing requirements.
