Memorials, Government Officials - Urges Department of Health to implement voluntary reporting system for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease cases. -

HJR 120 is a non-binding resolution urging Tennessee's Department of Health to implement a voluntary reporting system for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT) cases using existing electronic health record systems. It directs the Department to collect CMT data through current infrastructure without requiring new state funding or imposing costs on healthcare providers. The resolution aims to improve data on this rare neurological condition (affecting an estimated 2,800 Tennesseans) to support research, federal grant eligibility, and targeted patient care. The Department must provide annual progress reports to relevant health committees, though the resolution does not create new legal obligations or mandates.
