AI Summary
This bill amends the Tennessee Code by extending the time period for physicians to notify the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners about changes to their address from 30 days to 60 days. Specifically, the legislation modifies Section 63-6-209(d), which governs professional registration requirements for physicians. The change gives licensed medical professionals additional time to update their contact information with the regulatory board after moving, potentially providing more flexibility and reducing the likelihood of unintentional non-compliance with registration rules. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, as specified in the second section of the legislation, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by providing physicians with a more reasonable timeframe for address updates.
