AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 33; Title 37; Title 44; Title 47; Title 49; Title 53; Title 63 and Title 68, relative to health.
Summary
HB0984 makes a narrow change to Tennessee’s health-related reporting deadline in the state code. Specifically, it amends Tennessee Code Annotated § 68-1-108(f) by changing the due date from March 1 to April 1. The bill does not add new programs, penalties, or regulatory requirements; it simply extends an existing deadline by one month.
Because the bill is limited to a single date change, its practical effect is likely administrative rather than substantive. It would affect whatever filings, reports, or submissions are governed by § 68-1-108(f), giving the responsible parties additional time to comply and shifting the timing of state agency review or processing accordingly.
Impact
The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 68, by replacing the March 1 deadline in § 68-1-108(f) with April 1. This changes the timing of an existing health-related statutory obligation, likely affecting regulated entities, healthcare-related filers, or state administrative processes tied to that section. No other titles or provisions are changed in the text provided, so the bill’s legal impact is confined to a one-month extension of an existing deadline.
Sentiment
There is little direct evidence of debate, opposition, or controversy in the materials provided. The absence of committee transcripts and recorded votes suggests the bill was either noncontroversial or not accompanied by substantive public discussion in the available record. On its face, the measure appears technical and administrative, which often draws limited partisan or policy disagreement.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided context. The only potentially debatable issue is the one-month extension itself: parties responsible for the deadline may favor the additional time, while state administrators or stakeholders relying on earlier submission dates could prefer the original March 1 deadline. However, no named opponents, amendments, or objections appear in the record.
