SB 801 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Dentists and Dentistry - As introduced, clarifies that the board of dentistry must submit the board's annual report on or before January 1 of each year; adds the legislative librarian as a recipient of the report. - Amends TCA Title 63.

SB 801 clarifies that Tennessee's Board of Dentistry must submit its annual report to the governor and the legislative librarian by January 1 each year. The bill amends existing law to require this specific deadline and adds the legislative librarian as a mandatory recipient of the report. This procedural change streamlines transparency by ensuring the report reaches both the governor and the legislative librarian annually. It directly affects the dental board’s reporting obligations but does not alter dental practice regulations or patient care standards.
