HB 1599 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the state board of accountancy to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 62, Chapter 1.

HB 1599 extends the expiration date of Tennessee's State Board of Accountancy from its original sunset date to June 30, 2030. This procedural bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 4-29-247 and 4-29-251 to clarify the board's continued existence and reference its creation under Title 62, Chapter 1. The bill directly affects the State Board of Accountancy (which oversees licensed accountants in Tennessee) and the professionals regulated by the board. It makes no changes to the board's duties or regulations, only prevents its automatic termination.
