Public Health - As introduced, adds the legislative librarian as a party to which the department of health must submit an annual report based on data received by a county or district health department that operates a needle and hypodermic syringe exchange program, including the number of people served, number of needles, syringes, and supplies dispensed and returned to the program, number of naloxone kits distributed, and the number and type of treatment referrals provided. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8; Title 14; Title 29; Title 33; Title 37; Title 39; Title 53; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.

SB 460 requires Tennessee's Department of Health to submit annual reports on needle and syringe exchange programs to both the General Assembly and the legislative librarian. These reports must include specific data like the number of people served, needles/syringes dispensed, naloxone kits distributed, and treatment referrals made. The bill amends multiple health care statutes (including Title 68) to add the legislative librarian as a required recipient of these reports. This change does not alter program operations but expands transparency by making this public health data accessible to the legislative library.
