TCA § 49-11-111 — Eligibility to receive credit towards receipt of professional and occupational licenses for career and technical training in high school and post high school

Persons who receive certified comprehensive career and technical training in high school and post high school pursuant to § 49-11-104 are eligible to receive equivalent credit towards the receipt of professional and occupational licenses relating to the training received. This section applies to all professions and occupations regulated under title 62. The high school and post high school training received under this chapter must be consistent with the requirements for licensure by licensing authorities in order for persons to be eligible for equivalent credit under subsection (a). Any person aggrieved by the decision of a licensing authority concerning eligibility for equivalent credit under this section may appeal to the commissioner of commerce and insurance or the commissioner's designee for a determination of whether the training meets the requirements for licensure. An appeal under this subdivision (b)(2) must be conducted in the same manner as is provided in § 4-5-322, for a contested case hearing under the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5. The commissioner of commerce and insurance, in collaboration with the state board of education and the various departments charged with supervision of licensing authorities shall promulgate rules to effectuate the purposes of this act. All rules must be promulgated in accordance with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act.
