Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the board of dispensing opticians to June 30, 2031. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 14.

SB 1501 extends the existence of Tennessee's Board of Dispensing Opticians until June 30, 2031, by amending relevant sections of state law (TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 14). This bill directly affects the Board of Dispensing Opticians, which oversees licensing and regulation for opticians in Tennessee. The key change is removing an existing sunset provision and adding the new expiration date of 2031 to ensure the board continues operating without needing annual renewal. The bill passed the Senate unanimously on February 2, 2026, and is now pending in the House.
