AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 3; Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 33; Title 41; Title 47; Title 53; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71, relative to healthcare.
Summary
HB2199 is a narrow healthcare bill that makes a single statutory change in Tennessee Code Annotated Section 68-11-238(a). The bill extends a deadline from seven days to ten days. Based on the text alone, it appears to adjust a healthcare-related reporting, notice, or compliance timeframe, but it does not otherwise create a new program, benefit, or regulatory scheme.
Because the bill amends only one provision, its practical effect is limited to the specific healthcare context governed by Section 68-11-238(a). The measure would give the affected party or parties three additional days to meet the existing requirement, which could ease compliance and reduce the risk of late filings or notices. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
Impact
The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 68-11-238(a) by changing a statutory deadline from seven days to ten days. This alters the timing requirement in the healthcare statute without changing the underlying obligation, and it would affect whichever healthcare providers, facilities, administrators, or regulated entities are subject to that section. No other titles or statutes are substantively changed by the bill text provided.
Sentiment
There is no committee transcript or recorded vote history provided, so there is no direct evidence of debate, support, or opposition. From the bill’s limited scope and technical nature, it appears to be a routine administrative adjustment rather than a controversial policy change. The available context suggests a neutral or low-conflict measure.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the materials provided. If there were concerns, they would likely center on whether extending the deadline from seven to ten days is necessary, whether it improves compliance, or whether it weakens timeliness requirements in the healthcare setting. However, no legislators, stakeholders, or committee members are identified as taking positions on those issues.
