Bill Summary

AI Summary

This bill extends the existence of the Bureau of TennCare within Tennessee's department of finance and administration by making technical amendments to state law. Specifically, the bill removes an existing subdivision (11) from Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new subdivision to Section 4-29-250(a) that officially recognizes the Bureau of TennCare, which was originally established by Executive Order No. 23 on October 19, 1999. TennCare is Tennessee's Medicaid program, which provides health coverage for low-income residents, and this bill essentially ensures the continued legal authorization of the bureau that administers this program. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, and its primary purpose appears to be a routine administrative update to maintain the legal standing of the TennCare bureau through 2029.
