AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 63, specifically Section 63-1-306(c), which relates to the reporting requirements for healthcare licensing boards when disciplining providers for pain management violations. Currently, these licensing boards must notify the Tennessee Department of Health within 30 days after assessing discipline or a penalty against a healthcare provider. The bill reduces this notification window from 30 days to 14 days, effectively requiring faster reporting of disciplinary actions. This change aims to streamline the communication process between licensing boards and the health department, potentially allowing for quicker oversight and tracking of healthcare provider disciplinary actions related to pain management. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and was enacted by the Tennessee General Assembly with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare.
