SB 2493 requires Tennessee's Department of Health to prepare a report by January 1, 2027, analyzing the feasibility and costs of creating a statewide registry for implanted medical devices. The report must cover how such a registry would work and its maintenance costs, and it will be submitted to the Senate and House speakers. This bill does not establish the registry itself but mandates a study to inform future decisions. The registry would ultimately be available to all healthcare facilities in Tennessee.
