SB 2297 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

TennCare - As introduced, removes an obsolete reference to July 1, 2000, as the initial date after which the department of health must ensure that application forms for TennCare uninsured or uninsurable coverage under the Medical Assistance Act apprise applicants of the requirements of the act. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 7; Title 8; Title 12; Title 14; Title 33; Title 47; Title 52; Title 56; Title 62; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.

SB 2297 removes an outdated reference to July 1, 2000, from Tennessee law governing TennCare application forms. This procedural update eliminates a historical date that no longer applies to the Department of Health's requirement to inform applicants about coverage rules under the Medical Assistance Act. The change affects administrative forms used for TennCare uninsured or uninsurable coverage applications but does not alter the substance of eligibility requirements or applicant obligations. The bill amends Section 71-5-110(c)(2) of the Tennessee Code by deleting the obsolete phrase.
