AI Summary

This bill directs the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR), a state research agency, to conduct a comprehensive study on the "continuum of care" in Tennessee. The term "continuum of care" typically refers to a comprehensive system of healthcare services that tracks and supports a patient's health needs across different stages and settings of treatment. The study will require TACIR to examine Tennessee's current healthcare service delivery system, compare it with approaches in other states, and develop recommendations for potential improvements. All state departments and agencies are required to assist TACIR in this research, which will be conducted using existing resources. By January 31, 2026, TACIR must submit a detailed report to every member of the general assembly and the legislative librarian, which may be delivered electronically and could include proposed legislative changes. The bill aims to provide policymakers with an in-depth analysis of healthcare service coordination and potential strategies for enhancing the state's healthcare system. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
