Bill > HB1478

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 71-5-142, to clarify that provider reimbursement information provided to the comptroller of the treasury is considered proprietary information and therefore not subject to public disclosure as public records. This means that details about how healthcare providers are paid by the state will be kept confidential, similar to other types of sensitive business information already protected under existing law. The change specifically adds the comptroller of the treasury to a list of entities whose collected information is protected, ensuring transparency is balanced with the need to safeguard certain financial data.
