AI Summary
This bill requires the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR), a state research and advisory agency, to conduct a comprehensive study on the feasibility and potential impacts of insurance coverage requirements originally proposed in Senate Bill 231, which relates to speech therapy services. TACIR is mandated to publish a detailed report of its findings and recommendations, and must deliver copies of this report to the chief clerks of both the senate and house of representatives, as well as the legislative librarian, by July 31, 2026. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated justification that the public welfare requires it. While the bill does not directly implement the original speech therapy insurance coverage requirements, it establishes a formal process for evaluating those proposed requirements through a thorough, independent study.
