SB0497Enacted

Amends TCA Title 62 and Title 68.

Tennessee SB0497 amends the requirements for obtaining a tattoo artist license in the state. It affects both in-state and out-of-state tattoo artists by allowing those licensed in another state for ten years or more to qualify for a license in Tennessee, even if they have been licensed in Tennessee for less than three years. Key provisions include the requirement for a tattoo artist to provide their signature on the apprenticeship completion application and the clarification that out-of-state artists need to show proof of two years' experience instead of passing an examination.
