AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's laws to establish uniform standards regarding visitation restrictions related to COVID-19. It grants hospital patients, nursing home residents, hospice patients, and residents of adult care homes and assisted-living facilities the right to have at least one visitor during a declared disaster or public health emergency, subject to the facility's normal visitation policies.

It also authorizes the state's health and mental health departments to promulgate rules to implement the bill's provisions.
