  "Tennessee Code Annotated 49-8-101(a) Summary.  Text from LexisNexis Academic done June 12, 2009.

Chattanooga State becomes Chattanooga State Community College.  Governor Bredesen signed into law June 5, 2009 legislation that has changed "the name of our college to Chattanooga State Community College effective July 1, 2009.  Representative Gerald McCormick carried the bill in the House and our delegation provided strong support for the measure which also renamed Nashville State, Pellissippi State, Northeast State and Southwest Tennessee Community Colleges.  The essence of the bill is this: Tennessee Community Colleges with 'Technical' in the name had their names simplified to 'State Community College'.  This change does not reflect a change in mission; nor does it signal a programmatic shift.  Our seal will continue to have 'Technologies' at the top of the inset inverted triangle; and our programs in engineering, business and industrial technologies will continue as the heart of our applied studies." (Dr. Catanzaro e-mail June 11, 2009; used by permission).  Article from Knoxnews.com originally published June 8, 2009.  Article from the Chattanooga Times."  This is an amendment of law by Pub. Acts 352; 2009 Tenn. Pub. Ch. 352; 2009 Tenn. SB 681.
