AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee state law by officially designating November as "Diabetes Awareness Month" throughout the state. By adding this new section to Title 15, Chapter 2, Part 1 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, the legislation creates a formal annual observance to raise public awareness about diabetes, a chronic health condition characterized by high blood sugar levels.
