SB 1195 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Health Care - As introduced, removes an obsolete provision that required, on or before January 15, 2018, the commissioner of health, in consultation with the perinatal advisory committee and with the assistance of relevant state agencies, to report to legislative committees with jurisdiction over health care concerning aspects of births involving neonatal abstinence syndrome and opioid use by women of childbearing age. - Amends TCA Title 14; Title 33; Title 56; Title 63 and Title 68.

SB 1195 removes an outdated requirement from Tennessee law that expired in 2018, specifically eliminating a mandate for the commissioner of health to report on neonatal abstinence syndrome and opioid use during pregnancy. The bill deletes a provision requiring reports to legislative committees by January 15, 2018, which had no ongoing effect since that date. It amends Tennessee Code sections in Titles 14, 33, 56, 63, and 68 to formally remove this obsolete reporting obligation. This is a procedural update with no new policy changes or direct impact on current health care operations or individuals.
