SB 55 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the board of osteopathic examination to June 30, 2029. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 9.

SB 55 extends the operational period of Tennessee's Board of Osteopathic Examination until June 30, 2029, by amending the state's legal code. It directly affects the board itself and osteopathic physicians in Tennessee, as the board oversees licensing and professional standards for osteopathic doctors. The bill modifies two specific sections of Tennessee Code (Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 63, Chapter 9) to remove an automatic termination date and clarify the board's legal foundation. This change prevents the board from sunsetting earlier and ensures continued oversight of osteopathic medical practice. The bill became law in March 2025 after passing through legislative committees.
