HB 1187 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 the speaker of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 33 and Title 71.

HB 1187 removes an obsolete requirement that a state official study prescription drug costs in nursing homes and report findings by January 2005. This procedural bill deletes a specific outdated provision (TCA § 71-5-195) from Tennessee law, which no longer applies. It does not create new policy, affect current healthcare programs, or change any resident care or costs. The bill solely eliminates a redundant administrative task from 2005.
