The following summaries are included herein for reference purposes.

  1. Private Acts of 1933, Chapter 677, authorized Sam H. Arrants to practice pharmacy in McMinn County even though he was not a licensed pharmacist. Acts such as these were fairly common in this state in the years following the establishment of licensing standards for the health professions. But this private act contained the following preamble which explains why legislation such as this was necessary for many Tennessee Counties.
  2. Private Acts of 1937, Chapter 302, authorized Fred Cannon to practice veterinary surgery in McMinn and adjoining counties by directing the State Board of Veterinary Surgery to issue him a license.
  3. Private Acts of 1945, Chapter 520, was another act directing the issuance of a license by the State Board of Veterinary Surgeons to G. L. Harris of McMinn County.
  4. Private Acts of 1965, Chapter 13, which created a non-profit Hospital District, known as the Woods Memorial Hospital District, was repealed by Private Acts of 2012, Chapter 42.
