Bill Summary

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 impure or 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, insurance, professions, and health and safety, specifically impacting how individuals can respond to notices regarding potentially adulterated medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
