Bill > SB0079

This bill extends the perinatal advisory committee's existence until June 30, 2029, through minor technical amendments to Tennessee state law. Specifically, the bill removes a reference to the perinatal advisory committee from one section of Tennessee Code (Section 4-29-246(a), which appears to delete subdivision (32), likely related to this committee) and adds a new reference to the committee in another section of the code (Section 4-29-250(a)). The perinatal advisory committee, which was originally created by Section 68-1-803 of Tennessee law, appears to be a state-level group focused on providing guidance and recommendations related to perinatal healthcare and services. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare. The technical nature of the amendments suggests this is primarily an administrative action to ensure the continued operation of the advisory committee for another five-year period.
