Opioids - As introduced, removes nonresidential substitution-based treatment centers for opiate addiction from the requirement of obtaining a certificate of need beginning July 1, 2026. - Amends TCA Title 68, Chapter 11 and Chapter 985 of the Public Acts of 2024.

HB 2100 removes a requirement for nonresidential substitution-based treatment centers (like medication-assisted therapy for opiate addiction) to obtain a certificate of need starting July 1, 2026. This change affects treatment centers providing outpatient care for opiate addiction, eliminating a prior approval process for these facilities. The bill amends specific sections of Tennessee law (TCA Title 68, Chapters 11 and 985) to delete the certificate of need mandate. The policy change aims to reduce regulatory barriers for these treatment centers, effective July 2026.
