Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the board of veterinary medical examiners to June 30, 2031. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 12.
SB 1507 extends the existence of Tennessee's Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners until June 30, 2031, preventing it from ending under previous sunset provisions. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 4-29-247 and 63-12-104 to update the board's operational timeline and clarify its creation under Title 63, Chapter 12. This procedural change directly affects the board's continued operation but does not alter veterinary licensing requirements or duties. The bill passed the Senate unanimously on February 2, 2026, and is now pending in the House.
