Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
Audiology and speech compact ends 2034
The law ends Tennessee’s part in the Audiology and Speech‑Language Pathology Compact on June 30, 2034. On that date, audiologists and speech‑language pathologists lose compact practice rights tied to Tennessee. Patients using cross‑state or compact telepractice may have less access after that date. The law does not set replacement licensing rules.
2032 state agencies sunset in 2034
Any Tennessee department, board, agency, commission, or council created in 2032 ends on June 30, 2034. Lawmakers can keep, restart, or change an entity under the state’s review law. This may affect employees there and people who use their services. The act also deletes one subdivision in the sunset statute.
Law takes effect immediately
The act takes effect when it becomes law. This timing rule starts the other changes right away. It does not by itself change benefits, taxes, or fees.
