SB 1532 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact to June 30, 2034. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 13, Part 5.

SB 1532 extends the expiration date of Tennessee's Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact to June 30, 2034. This bill directly affects occupational therapists in Tennessee and participating states, as the compact allows them to practice across state lines without obtaining separate licenses in each state. The key provision amends Tennessee law to prevent the compact from terminating on its original date, ensuring continued multi-state licensure authority. This change maintains existing practice flexibility for occupational therapists without creating new requirements or altering current licensing processes.
