AI Summary

This bill requires the Tennessee Commissioner of Health to study how neighboring states regulate the prescribing of medications through telehealth, which is the remote delivery of healthcare services and information via electronic information and telecommunications technologies. The commissioner must compare these regulations to Tennessee's current rules for prescribers, meaning doctors and other licensed professionals who can write prescriptions. The findings of this study, which must be completed using existing resources, will be compiled into a report and sent to the state legislature by December 31, 2026, to inform potential future changes to Tennessee's telehealth laws.
