House Bill 404 and Senate Bill 393 propose amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning the professional music therapy advisory committee under the board of examiners in psychology. Specifically, the bill deletes subdivision (34) from Section 4-29-246(a) and introduces a new subdivision in Section 4-29-248 that establishes the professional music therapy advisory committee, as created by Section 63-11-601.

The bill aims to streamline the regulatory framework surrounding music therapy in Tennessee by formally recognizing the advisory committee within the existing legal structure. This change is intended to enhance the oversight and professional standards of music therapy practices in the state. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
