Bill Summary

As introduced, requires every year, instead of every other year, the commissioner of health, in consultation with the regulatory boards that license healthcare practitioners, to provide a letter no later than November 1 to the governor, the speaker of the senate, the speaker of the house of representatives, and legislative committees with subject matter jurisdiction over health that includes updated information on the impact and effects of the restrictions and limitations on treating patients with opioids. - Amends TCA Title 8; Title 33; Title 53; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 63-1-164(f), by removing the term "even-numbered" from the existing text. While the government-provided summary suggests this change relates to the frequency of reporting on opioid treatment restrictions, the specific XML text only shows the deletion of "even-numbered" without providing full context. By removing "even-numbered", the bill appears to modify the requirement for the commissioner of health to provide an annual report (instead of a biennial report) by November 1st to the governor, legislative speakers, and relevant health committees. The report would continue to include updated information on the impact and effects of restrictions and limitations on treating patients with opioids. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, with the justification that it serves the public welfare.
