Health Care - As introduced, requires the annual report by the board of dentistry to be made by February 1 each year and sent to the general assembly, in addition to the governor. - Amends TCA Title 33; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.
SB 1661 requires the Tennessee Board of Dentistry to submit its annual report by February 1 each year to both the governor and the Tennessee General Assembly, clarifying that the General Assembly must receive the report (previously unclear under current law). The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 63-5-106, to establish this deadline and recipient requirement, while ensuring copies remain available to the public. It directly affects the Board of Dentistry (as the reporting entity) and the General Assembly (as a new required recipient). This procedural change does not alter the report's content but standardizes the submission process for transparency.
