AI Summary

This bill, by amending Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 68-1-144, removes a provision related to a report that was due by December 15, 2022, from the department of health concerning the remote use of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The WIC program provides specific nutritious foods and nutrition education to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum individuals, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk. The bill's primary effect is to eliminate the requirement for this particular report, which is no longer relevant due to its past due date.
