AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8; Title 33; Title 53; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71, relative to health care.
Summary
HB1049 makes a narrow change to Tennessee’s health care licensing law by deleting the phrase "even-numbered" from Tennessee Code Annotated § 63-1-164(f). The bill does not create a new program or regulatory scheme; instead, it amends an existing timing or scheduling provision tied to health care-related law. Because the bill text is limited to a single textual deletion, its practical effect depends on the underlying statute and how that phrase is used in administering the law.
The bill is framed broadly as relating to health care and takes effect immediately upon becoming law. It amends a provision within Title 63, which governs professions and occupations, and may affect the timing or applicability of certain actions under that section for regulated health care entities or licensees. No other substantive changes are made in the text provided.
Impact
HB1049 would directly amend Tennessee Code Annotated § 63-1-164(f) by removing the word "even-numbered," thereby changing the operation of that subsection for any deadlines, reporting cycles, or other requirements that were previously limited to even-numbered years. The bill has a targeted impact on the affected statute and any health care professionals, boards, or agencies that rely on that timing language, but it does not otherwise alter the broader titles listed in the caption.
Sentiment
Based on the available record, the bill appears to have been noncontroversial or at least not publicly debated in the materials provided. There are no committee transcripts, recorded votes, or documented objections in the supplied context, so the overall sentiment cannot be assessed from discussion. The bill’s narrow, technical nature suggests it was likely viewed as a housekeeping or clarifying amendment rather than a major policy change.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided materials. Because there are no transcripts or vote details, it is not possible to identify supporters, opponents, or disputed interpretations. If any concern existed, it would most likely have centered on the practical effect of removing "even-numbered" from the statute and whether that change alters filing, review, or compliance timing for health care-related entities.
