House Bill 172 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 63-1-110(b), regarding the registration requirements for healthcare providers who resign or are discharged from certain services. The bill removes the existing language in subsection (b) and replaces it with a new requirement that mandates individuals who engage in the practice of a healing art or any related branch in Tennessee to register with the appropriate licensing board for their profession after resigning or being discharged.

This legislation aims to ensure that healthcare providers maintain proper registration and oversight when transitioning between roles within the healthcare system. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in the regulation of healthcare practices in the state.
