HB 1007 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Drugs, Prescription - As introduced, deletes an obsolete provision that required the comptroller of the treasury, in conjunction with any appropriate TennCare drug utilization review committees, to study the use of prescription drugs in nursing homes and the costs of those prescription drugs for residents of nursing homes; to examine prescription use overall; to focus on any practices that would improve the quality of resident care while reducing costs to the TennCare program; and to report by January 1, 2005, to speaker of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 33 and Title 71.

HB 1007 would have deleted an outdated requirement in Tennessee law that mandated the comptroller and TennCare drug review committees to study prescription drug use, costs, and quality of care in nursing homes, with a 2005 reporting deadline. The bill aimed to remove this obsolete provision from Tennessee Code (amending Titles 4, 33, and 71) since the study was no longer relevant. The bill was introduced in early 2025 but withdrawn the same month without becoming law. This was a procedural change, not a policy shift, as it only eliminated a defunct administrative task.
