SB 1057 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Drugs, Prescription - As introduced, deletes an obsolete provision that required the comptroller of the treasury, in conjunction with any appropriate TennCare drug utilization review committees, to study the use of prescription drugs in nursing homes and the costs of those prescription drugs for residents of nursing homes; to examine prescription use overall; to focus on any practices that would improve the quality of resident care while reducing costs to the TennCare program; and to report by January 1, 2005, to speaker of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 33 and Title 71.

SB 1057 deletes an outdated requirement from Tennessee law that previously mandated the comptroller to study prescription drug use and costs in nursing homes (with a 2005 reporting deadline to lawmakers). This bill removes Section 71-5-195 of Tennessee Code, which had become obsolete after its 2005 deadline passed. It does not create new policy or affect current drug programs, as it only eliminates a defunct administrative task. The bill was filed in 2025 but withdrawn before further action.
