Insurance, Health, Accident - As enacted, extends the Access Tennessee health insurance program from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Section 56-7-2916.
HB 1318 extends Tennessee's Access Tennessee health insurance program, which provides coverage to low-income residents, by changing its expiration date from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2030. This amendment directly affects qualifying Tennessee residents who rely on the program for health coverage, ensuring continued access through 2030. The bill modifies Tennessee Code Annotated Section 56-7-2916 to reflect the new end date without altering program eligibility or benefits. It is a straightforward extension of an existing state program, not a new policy. The bill became law as Public Chapter 185 on April 30, 2025.
