Medical Occupations - As enacted, enacts the "Tennessee Physician Workforce Information Act." - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 49; Title 63 and Title 68.
SB 554, the "Tennessee Physician Workforce Information Act," extends the reporting deadline for medical professionals from 30 to 60 days. It directly affects healthcare providers who must submit workforce data to the state under Tennessee Code. The key change modifies Section 63-1-108(c) to require reports be submitted within 60 days instead of 30 days. This adjustment provides medical facilities more time to compile and submit required workforce information. The bill became effective April 15, 2025, after being signed by the Governor.
