AI Summary
This bill extends the repeal date of the CoverKids Act of 2006 from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2030. CoverKids is a Tennessee health insurance program that provides affordable health coverage for uninsured children and pregnant women who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford private health insurance. By amending Section 71-3-1113 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, the bill effectively continues the program for an additional five years, ensuring that eligible families can continue to access this healthcare coverage.
