Healthcare Liability - As introduced, removes the three-year statute of repose for a healthcare liability action based on an injury that was not discovered when the negligent act or injury occurred so that the action may be brought within one year from the date of such discovery. - Amends TCA Title 28 and Title 29.

HB 1730 would change Tennessee's medical malpractice law by removing a three-year deadline for filing lawsuits based on injuries discovered later. Currently, patients must sue within three years of the negligent medical act, even if they only discovered the injury afterward. This bill would allow lawsuits to be filed within one year of discovering the injury instead. It directly affects patients who learn about medical harm after the current three-year period has expired.
