Health Care - As introduced, extends from January 15 to March 1, the date by which the commissioner of health, in consultation with the department of finance and administration and any other state agency involved in the administration of the safety net program, must annually report to the general assembly on data relating to access to care and safety net adequacy related issues. - Amends TCA Title 49; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.

SB 716 extends the annual deadline for Tennessee's commissioner of health to report to the General Assembly on health care access and safety net program data. The bill changes the submission date from January 15 to March 1 each year, giving the commissioner and collaborating state agencies additional time to compile the report. This affects the commissioner of health, the Department of Finance and Administration, and other agencies involved in administering the safety net program. The change only modifies the reporting timeline and does not alter the content or requirements of the annual report.
