AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically sections 20-13-203 and 33-11-103(p), to add Alvogen, Inc., Apotex Corp., and Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. to a list of companies that may be released by the state's attorney general from pending or future legal claims related to opioids, in addition to Purdue Pharma L.P. This action is part of ongoing efforts to address the opioid crisis and potentially resolve legal disputes with pharmaceutical companies involved in the production and distribution of opioid medications. The bill also includes a standard severability clause, meaning that if any part of the act is found to be invalid, the rest of the act will still remain in effect.
