AI Summary
This bill requires the Tennessee Commissioner of Health to add alpha-gal syndrome to the state's list of reportable diseases by July 1, 2025. Alpha-gal syndrome is a rare allergic condition typically caused by a tick bite that can make people allergic to red meat and other mammalian products. By adding this syndrome to the list of reportable diseases, healthcare providers will be mandated to report new cases to the state health department, which can help track the prevalence and spread of this condition. The bill aims to improve public health monitoring and potentially support research and prevention efforts related to alpha-gal syndrome. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the state's intent to quickly implement this reporting requirement for healthcare providers.
