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
SB0839 makes a very narrow change to Tennessee law by amending Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 68-1-108(f), to move a statutory deadline from March 1 to April 1. The bill does not create a new program, benefit, or regulatory scheme; instead, it adjusts one date in the health-related provisions of Title 68 and leaves the rest of the referenced titles unchanged.
Because the bill is framed as an amendment to multiple titles "relative to health," it appears intended to align an existing filing, reporting, or administrative deadline with a later date. The text provided does not specify the underlying process affected by the deadline change, but the practical effect is to give affected parties an additional month to comply with the requirement in Section 68-1-108(f).
Impact
The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 68-1-108(f) by replacing the date "March 1" with "April 1." This changes the timing of whatever health-related obligation is governed by that subsection, likely affecting regulated entities, licensees, or administrators subject to the deadline. No other statutory language is changed in the text provided, and the act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
Sentiment
There is no recorded committee discussion or vote history in the materials provided, so the bill’s sentiment cannot be measured from debate or roll call data. Based on the text alone, it appears to be a technical, noncontroversial deadline adjustment rather than a substantive policy change. The absence of opposition or recorded amendments suggests the measure was likely intended as a routine administrative fix.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided transcripts or voting history. The only potentially debatable issue is the one-month extension of the statutory deadline, which could be viewed as helpful administrative flexibility by affected parties or as a delay in compliance by regulators. However, there is no evidence in the record provided of any organized support or opposition.
