Tennessee Code Annotated 49-8-101(a)
Summary. This is an amendment of law by
Pub. Acts 352; 2009 Tenn. Pub. Ch. 352; 2009 Tenn. SB 681.
- 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).
