SB 2224 transfers oversight of land surveyors from the state board of examiners for land surveyors to the state board of examiners for architects and engineers. It removes the registration requirement for interior designers and adjusts how fees from contractor licensing are used, eliminating a specific funding mechanism tied to the Go Build Tennessee Act. The bill affects land surveyors, interior designers, and contractor licensing programs by changing regulatory oversight and fee allocation. These changes streamline occupational licensing by consolidating related boards and removing certain registration and funding requirements.
