AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to allow the owner or person legally possessing drugs or devices that are deemed adulterated (meaning they are not pure or have been contaminated) to request a "show cause" hearing electronically, in addition to the current option of requesting it in writing. A show cause hearing is a legal proceeding where someone must explain why a certain action should not be taken against them. This change applies to various sections of Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) related to trade, health and safety, insurance, professions, and health and environmental regulations, specifically updating a provision within TCA Title 53, Chapter 10, Section 106, which deals with the handling of adulterated drugs and devices.
