Bill > HB0257

This bill extends the sunset date for the perinatal advisory committee to June 30, 2029, by making technical amendments to two sections of Tennessee state law. Specifically, the bill removes a reference to the perinatal advisory committee from Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new provision in Section 4-29-250(a) that explicitly lists the perinatal advisory committee, which was originally created by § 68-1-803. A perinatal advisory committee typically provides guidance and recommendations on matters related to maternal and infant healthcare, helping to improve health outcomes for mothers and newborns. The bill ensures the continued existence of this important healthcare advisory body by extending its authorization for several more years. The changes will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the bill's final section.
