Bill > HB0236

This bill extends the legal authorization for the Bureau of TennCare, which is Tennessee's Medicaid program, within the state's department of finance and administration. Specifically, the bill makes two key changes to existing law: first, it removes a specific subdivision (number 11) from Section 4-29-246(a), and second, it adds a new subdivision to Section 4-29-250(a) that formally recognizes the Bureau of TennCare's existence, referencing its establishment by Executive Order No. 23 on October 19, 1999. While the government-provided summary indicates that the bureau's authorization is extended to June 30, 2029, this specific date is not explicitly stated in the bill text provided. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare. These amendments appear to be a routine administrative action to ensure the continued legal standing of the TennCare program within Tennessee's governmental structure.
