Senate Bill 894, sponsored by Stevens, proposes amendments to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 62, Chapter 6, which governs professional licensing. The bill specifically modifies the renewal periods for professional licenses by changing the timeframe from "twenty-fourth month" to "forty-eighth month" in Section 62-6-116(a). Additionally, it extends the renewal period from "two (2) years" to "four (4) years" in Section 62-6-116(e).

The changes aim to provide professionals with a longer duration before needing to renew their licenses, thereby potentially reducing the frequency of renewal requirements. This act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to the renewal of licenses that are set to expire on or after that date.
