AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71, relative to health care.
Summary
SB1093 is a narrow technical amendment to Tennessee health care law. The bill changes a date in Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 63-15-104(f), by replacing the year 2026 with 2027. Based on the text provided, it does not create a new program, impose a new mandate, or alter substantive health care policy; it simply extends an existing statutory deadline or effective date by one year.
Because the bill amends Title 63 and is captioned as relating to health care, its legal effect is limited to the specific provision referenced in the code. The act would update state law to reflect the later year and would take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the public welfare clause invoked. The practical impact is to preserve the current legal framework for an additional year before the referenced provision changes or expires.
Impact
SB1093 amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 63-15-104(f) by extending a statutory date from 2026 to 2027. This changes state law only in that specific provision and does not appear to affect broader regulatory structures in Titles 4, 56, 63, 68, or 71 beyond the cited section. The bill would be effective immediately upon enactment, so any deadline or sunset tied to that subsection would be delayed by one year for the affected parties and agencies.
Sentiment
There is no recorded committee discussion or voting history in the materials provided, so the bill’s sentiment cannot be measured from debate or roll call data. Based on the text alone, the measure appears routine and noncontroversial, since it is a simple date extension rather than a substantive policy change. The absence of opposition or recorded amendments suggests it may have been treated as a technical cleanup or continuation bill.
Contention
No specific points of contention are evident in the provided record because there are no transcripts, votes, or stated objections. If any concern were to arise, it would likely center on why the deadline is being extended and whether the underlying provision should instead be allowed to take effect or expire as originally scheduled. However, the available information does not identify any legislators, agencies, or stakeholders taking a position for or against the measure.
