AI Summary
This bill requires the Tennessee Department of Health to submit a comprehensive report by January 1, 2026, detailing psychotropic medications and their side effects. Specifically, the report must list each drug classified as a psychotropic medication (as defined in § 49-2-124, which likely refers to medications that affect brain chemistry and mental states) and provide a description of the side effects associated with each medication. The report will be submitted to two legislative committee chairs: the chair of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee and the chair of the House committee responsible for health-related matters. The bill aims to provide lawmakers with detailed information about psychotropic medications, potentially to inform future health policy or oversight. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by increasing transparency and understanding of these medications.
