Dates and locations are tentative until the agenda is posted. Please check with the Board office at 1-800-544-7693 or review the agenda for final schedule. § T.C.A 62-6-109 and Rule 0680-1-.02 requires the Board to meet six (6) times annually; at least once in each grand division (Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville). All meetings are open to the public. To have items placed on the agenda for Board discussion, please submit a request in writing.
The first day of the meeting is comprised of those scheduled to interview, typically for new license applicants not meeting the criteria to have a personal interview waived (see new application instructions for "Board Review"). In addition, informal hearings, board discussion and regular business is conducted on the first day of the meeting. The Board has adopted the "Roberts Rules of Order". Rulemakings and Formal Hearings, when needed, are held on the second day of the Board's regularly scheduled meeting, and will be posted in advance prior to the meeting. These second day formal meetings are held in accordance to the provisions of the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, title 4, chapter 5; T.C.A.§§§ 62-6-109; 62-6-111, 62-6-118 and Rule 0680-1-.02. Statutes may be found under the "Law and Rules" on the resources section of the board's website.
Board meetings are open to the public, however, open complaint cases are presented anonymously to the Board by the Legal section on a report with the identified license law violation and recommendations. Parties of the complaint (consumer and contractor) are not identified or notified to attend the meeting. In the case of a "Formal Hearing", complaint parties may be notified at that time to attend in order to testify; contractors will be served with a notice of hearing and charges, and advised to appear with their attorney.
Any disciplinary action taken at the Board's meeting will be published once the case is closed, and listed on the "Monthly Disciplinary Action" of the Department's site. Past action is published at the "Archived Disciplinary Action" site. Parties involved with a complaint case will be notified of the Board action after the case is closed by the Legal Section. Cases pending after being authorized for a Formal Hearing or Agreed Consent Order, will remain open and specifics of the cases are not released as public information. More information relative to the complaint process is available at "Consumer Resources".
Special meetings of the Board may be conducted pursuant T.C.A. § 8-44-108 for public necessity; T.C.A. § 62-6-109(c); and Rule 0680-1-.03, after giving advanced public notice.
