Bill > SB2239

This bill mandates that both the Board of Medical Examiners and the Board of Osteopathic Examination in Tennessee require their licensed physicians to complete at least one hour of their continuing education on nutrition-related topics, a requirement that only needs to be met once by each licensee. Importantly, any continuing education on nutrition must be provided free of charge to physicians, and these specific nutrition education requirements will expire on January 1, 2033. The bill also grants these boards the authority to create necessary rules, including emergency ones, to implement these changes, with the rule-making provisions taking effect immediately upon the bill becoming law, and the rest of the act taking effect on January 1, 2028.
