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27, 2021, the Tennessee Locksmith Licensing Act of 2006, codified in Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 62, Chapter 11, is repealed effective May 27, 2021.
