Senate Bill 1903, also known as House Bill 1894, amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to redefine certain terms related to food and drugs. Specifically, it designates the existing definition of "drug" in Section 53-1-102(14) as subdivision (A) and adds a new subdivision (B) that states "Drug" also includes food that contains a vaccine or vaccine material. Additionally, the bill introduces a new subdivision that defines "vaccine or vaccine material" as substances intended to stimulate antibody production and provide immunity against diseases, which are authorized or approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration.

The bill aims to clarify the classification of foods that contain vaccines, thereby potentially impacting regulations surrounding food safety and public health. It is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the public welfare in relation to the provisions outlined.
