House Bill 172, sponsored by Martin B, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 63-1-110(b), regarding the registration requirements for healthcare providers. The bill removes the existing language in subsection (b) and replaces it with a new provision that mandates individuals who resign or are discharged from certain healthcare services to register with the appropriate licensing board if they choose to practice a healing art or any related branch in the state.

The bill emphasizes the importance of proper registration for healthcare professionals transitioning between roles, ensuring that they comply with state regulations. This legislation is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting its urgency in promoting public welfare within the healthcare system.
