HB 465 extends the time for health care professionals to challenge licensing denials from 30 to 60 business days. It directly affects individuals, applicants, licensees, certificate holders, or registrants in health-related fields who receive a notice from a licensing authority denying an application or renewal due to a prior criminal conviction. The bill amends Tennessee law (Titles 39, 40, 63, and 68) to change the filing deadline for petitions in Davidson County chancery court. This change takes effect on July 1, 2025, providing more time to address licensing decisions.
