Tennessee Code Title 68. Health, Safety and Environmental Protection § 68-11-2304

(a) A temporary healthcare staffing agency shall not be operated, maintained, or advertised in this state without registering with the commission. Each separate location of a temporary healthcare staffing agency shall register and obtain a separate registration.

(b) Each application to operate a temporary healthcare staffing agency must be made on forms adopted by the commission. The commission shall promulgate rules in accordance with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5, to establish the application process for temporary healthcare staffing agency registration. The application must include:

(c) The commission may establish a registration fee in an amount sufficient to fund the projected costs of administering registration of temporary healthcare staffing agencies, but in no case may such fee exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000).

(d) The commission shall deny an application for temporary healthcare staffing agency registration for failure to provide the information required by this section.

(e) A registration issued by the commission to an agency is effective for a period of one (1) year from the date of its issuance unless the registration is revoked for noncompliance with this section. If a controlling person changes, the temporary healthcare staffing agency is sold, or management is transferred, then the registration of the agency is voided and the new controlling person, owner, or manager may apply for a new registration.
