Senate Bill 2507, also known as House Bill 2292, amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding contractors by updating the notification process for disciplinary actions taken by the board. Specifically, it designates the existing subsection (a) of Section 62-6-139 as subdivision (a)(1) and introduces a new subdivision (a)(2). This new provision mandates that upon posting a disciplinary action under subdivision (a)(1), the board is required to notify the Department of Commerce and Insurance of the action as soon as practicable.
The bill emphasizes the importance of timely communication between the board and the Department of Commerce and Insurance regarding disciplinary actions, thereby enhancing oversight and accountability within the contracting profession. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the urgency of the public welfare in implementing these changes.
