Health Care - As introduced, deletes an obsolete section regarding the creation of a task force to study methods on how to best prevent cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes in this state. - Amends TCA Title 53 and Title 68.
SB 2594 removes an outdated section (TCA 68-5-114) from Tennessee’s health code that previously directed a task force to study prevention methods for cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes. This bill does not create new policy or affect any current health programs - it only deletes obsolete language from the state code. The change affects Tennessee’s legal framework under Titles 53 and 68 of the code, streamlining administrative records. No new requirements or funding are added or removed; the bill simply eliminates a reference to a now-inactive task force provision.
