Rules & Regulations of the State of Tennessee Title 1280 - Registered Professional Environmentalist
Overview
Title 1280 of the Tennessee Rules and Regulations concerns the Registered Professional Environmentalist (RPE).
It was established to set rules for licensing, practice standards, examinations, fees, and administrative procedures for RPEs.
Current Status
Chapters 1280‑01 and 1280‑02 have been repealed.
This means that the detailed rules that once defined the licensing process and requirements are no longer in effect as standalone regulations.
Statutory Authority
Even though the regulatory chapters were repealed, the statutory framework for RPEs still exists in the Tennessee Code:
Licensing and Renewal
Initial license applications had to be submitted by August 31, 1994, with required fees.
Applicants were required to pass an examination approved by the board by September 30, 1994.
Renewal
After the initial licensing period, renewal applications must be submitted to the Department of Health, which can establish renewal fees.
Practical Implications
No active rules exist within Title 1280 because the chapters were repealed.
Current licensing requirements, practice rights, and professional obligations are governed directly by the Tennessee Code or by the relevant licensing authority.
Summary
Title 1280 once regulated Registered Professional Environmentalists.
Its specific regulatory chapters were repealed.
Licensing and renewal now fall under statutory authority and administrative oversight by the Tennessee Department of Health or the appropriate board.
