HB 846 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Architects, Engineers and Designers - As introduced, requires the state board of examiners for architects and engineers to publish the time and place at which examinations to receive an engineer intern certificate or to register as a professional engineer are held and the acceptable grade necessary for passage of the examinations on the board's website. - Amends TCA Title 49; Title 62 and Title 63.

HB 846 requires Tennessee's State Board of Examiners for Architects and Engineers to publish exam schedules and passing scores on its website. This affects individuals seeking engineer intern certificates or professional engineer licenses by making exam details (times, locations, and required passing grades) publicly accessible online. The bill amends Tennessee Code Sections 62-2-405 (in Title 62) and related sections (Titles 49 and 63) to mandate this transparency. The provision aims to clarify licensing requirements without changing the exam content or standards.
