Health Care - As introduced, requires the annual report by the board of dentistry to be made by February 1 each year and sent to the general assembly, in addition to the governor. - Amends TCA Title 33; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.
HB 1650 requires the Tennessee Board of Dentistry to submit its annual report of activities by February 1 each year to both the governor and the Tennessee General Assembly, rather than only to the governor as previously required. The bill also mandates that copies of the report be made publicly available. This change, which amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 63, Section 63-5-106, directly affects the Board of Dentistry by altering its reporting obligations. The policy shift aims to increase legislative oversight by ensuring the General Assembly receives the report directly.
