What are the educational requirements for locksmiths?

Pursuant to Senate Bill 0012 and House Bill 0009 enacted into law by Governor Bill Lee on May 27, 2021, the Tennessee Locksmith Licensing Act of 2006, codified in Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 62, Chapter 11, is repealed effective May 27, 2021. Therefore, as of May 27, 2021, the State of Tennessee will no longer regulate locksmiths, locksmith apprentices, or locksmith companies. Licenses from the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance will no longer be required to operate as a locksmith, a locksmith apprentice, or a locksmith company and the Department of Commerce and Insurance will no longer have the authority and jurisdiction to discipline any individuals, entities, or companies for operating without a license or for otherwise violating Title 62, Chapter 11.
