SB 2009 Tennessee Senate · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Health Care - As enacted, makes various revisions to law relative to certificate of need. - Amends TCA Title 4 and Title 68.

This bill amends Tennessee laws governing the Health Facilities Commission to improve how the agency issues enforcement orders against nursing homes. Specifically, it requires the commission to mail these orders within ten working days of an inspection and to clearly explain the facts, laws, and steps for contesting the decision. The change directly affects nursing home operators by ensuring they receive timely, detailed notices of violations and their right to appeal. This procedural update aims to increase transparency in the regulatory process without altering the commission's overall authority.
