SB 2588 Tennessee Senate · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Boards and Commissions - As enacted, requires state regulatory boards within the department of commerce and insurance and state health related boards within the department of health to issue advisory private letter rulings, upon request. - Amends TCA Title 62 and Title 63.

This bill requires specific state regulatory boards within the Departments of Commerce and Insurance and Health to provide written advisory rulings when individuals request guidance on matters within their professional scope. These rulings are intended solely for the person who asked for them and do not set a precedent for other cases or future decisions. While the boards must issue these opinions upon request, they retain the discretion to resolve any disputes regarding the rulings through existing legal procedures. The legislation also includes several technical amendments to the state code that remove outdated or redundant provisions related to health-related boards.
