AI Summary

This bill requires the Tennessee Commissioner of Health to study the rules and regulations in neighboring states regarding how people can get prescription medications through telehealth, which is healthcare provided remotely using technology. The goal is to understand what restrictions, if any, these other states place on doctors and other healthcare providers who prescribe medications via telehealth, and then compare those restrictions to what is currently allowed in Tennessee. The Commissioner must then compile these findings into a report and submit it to the Tennessee General Assembly, specifically to the chief clerks of the Senate and House of Representatives, and the legislative librarian, by December 31, 2026, and can send this report electronically. This study is being conducted to inform future decisions about telehealth prescription practices in Tennessee.
