AI Summary
This bill extends the expiration date of the CoverKids program from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2030. CoverKids is a Tennessee state health insurance program designed to provide affordable health coverage for children and pregnant women who have incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid but too low to afford private health insurance. The bill amends a specific section of Tennessee Code (Section 71-3-1113) by simply changing the program's sunset date, effectively continuing the program for an additional five years. By extending the program's authorization, the state ensures continued health coverage for eligible families during this period. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, which is typical for legislation deemed important for public welfare.
