HB 881 removes a requirement that septic system installers pay a renewal fee to keep their licenses active in Tennessee, while maintaining the initial permit fee. It directly affects licensed installers of subsurface sewage disposal systems who currently face this renewal fee. The bill amends Tennessee law to prohibit the department from requiring this renewal fee as a condition for license renewal, though the initial permit fee remains unchanged. The change takes effect July 1, 2025.
