Bill > HB0288

This bill makes several technical amendments to various sections of Tennessee state law, primarily focused on removing obsolete references and updating governmental entity listings. Specifically, the bill eliminates references to the now-defunct joint select committee on veterans services, removes specific statutory provisions that are no longer relevant, and adds two new entries to the list of governmental entities: the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact and the Tennessee Child Fatality Prevention Team. The bill deletes certain sections of law related to veterans services appointments and removes language requiring review by the joint select committee on veterans services. The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact is a professional agreement that allows physicians to more easily practice across state lines, while the Child Fatality Prevention Team is likely a group focused on investigating and preventing child deaths. These changes appear to be housekeeping measures designed to modernize and streamline Tennessee's legal code by removing outdated provisions and adding current governmental entities. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the final section.
