Maddy summaryHB 1865 reduces the distance limit for Tennessee legislators to receive hotel per diem from 50 to 25 miles from the capitol. It also prohibits legislators living within this new 25-mile radius from claiming daily mileage allowances. The bill amends specific sections of Tennessee Code Annotated (3-1-106) to implement these changes to legislative travel reimbursement rules. This affects only state legislators' expense accounts, not the public or other government programs. The changes would take effect November 3, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 2077 repeals rules previously transferred from Tennessee's defunct human rights commission to the attorney general. It adds a new confidentiality requirement: human rights complaints filed with the attorney general cannot be disclosed without the complainant's consent, except to the complainant, the respondent, their attorneys, or law enforcement agencies investigating discrimination. The bill also updates references to the defunct commission in other sections to instead reference the attorney general. This directly protects the privacy of individuals who file discrimination complaints with the attorney general.

Maddy summaryHB 2473 deletes an obsolete section (TCA 68-5-114) that previously required a task force to study prevention methods for cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes in Tennessee.

The change solely removes a reference to a defunct task force requirement. This is a procedural cleanup with no direct impact on residents or healthcare delivery.

Maddy summaryHB 2558 extends the deadline for healthcare facilities to file written opposition to new facility applications from 15 to 30 days before a commission hearing. This affects hospitals or healthcare institutions seeking to build or expand in Tennessee, as they must now give opponents more time to respond. The bill amends Tennessee law to require that public notices about proposed projects include a statement about this extended notice period. The change takes effect on July 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 2100 removes a requirement for nonresidential substitution-based treatment centers (like medication-assisted therapy for opiate addiction) to obtain a certificate of need starting July 1, 2026. This change affects treatment centers providing outpatient care for opiate addiction, eliminating a prior approval process for these facilities. The bill amends specific sections of Tennessee law (TCA Title 68, Chapters 11 and 985) to delete the certificate of need mandate. The policy change aims to reduce regulatory barriers for these treatment centers, effective July 2026.
