AI Summary
This bill directs the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR), a state agency that studies government operations and policy, to conduct a comprehensive study on the "continuum of care" in Tennessee. The term "continuum of care" typically refers to a comprehensive approach to providing healthcare and social services that ensures coordinated and seamless support for individuals across different stages and types of care. The bill requires TACIR to survey and compare Tennessee's current continuum of care with approaches used in other states, with the goal of identifying potential improvements. TACIR will use its existing resources to complete the study and must collaborate with all relevant state departments and agencies. By January 31, 2026, TACIR is required to submit a detailed report to every member of the Tennessee General Assembly and the legislative librarian, which may be delivered electronically. The report will include findings, recommendations, and potentially proposed legislation to enhance the state's healthcare and social service delivery system. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
