Drugs, Prescription - As introduced, authorizes an owner or person in legal possession of drugs or devices deemed adulterated to request a show cause hearing electronically, rather than strictly in writing. - Amends TCA Title 47; Title 53; Title 56; Title 63 and Title 68.
SB 2437 amends Tennessee law to allow owners or people legally in possession of FDA-approved drugs or devices deemed "adulterated" to request a "show cause" hearing electronically, rather than only by written submission. This change applies specifically to those who receive a notice requiring them to explain why their drugs or devices shouldn't be subject to regulation under Section 53-10-106. The bill updates the process for these administrative hearings to include electronic requests within 10 days of receiving the notice.
