Senate Bill 83 amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to update provisions related to the statewide planning and policy council for the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. Specifically, it deletes subdivision (37) from Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new subdivision to Section 4-29-250(a) that formally recognizes the statewide planning and policy council as established by Section 33-1-401.

The bill aims to streamline the legal framework governing the council, ensuring that it is properly acknowledged within the state's planning and policy structure. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of timely implementation for public welfare.
