HB 2131 requires Tennessee's Health Commissioner to study how neighboring states regulate telehealth prescriptions, comparing their rules for prescribers (like doctors and nurses) to Tennessee's current restrictions. Using existing resources, the commissioner must compile findings into a report for the legislature by December 31, 2026. This study aims to identify potential gaps or differences in telehealth prescription rules without changing current law. It directly affects prescribers who issue medications via telehealth by providing data for future policy decisions.
