House Bill 383, sponsored by Butler, amends Tennessee law to require the commissioner of health to include alpha-gal syndrome in the list of reportable diseases and conditions. This addition mandates that healthcare providers report occurrences of alpha-gal syndrome to the department of health by July 1, 2025, in accordance with existing administrative rules.

The bill emphasizes the importance of tracking this condition, which is associated with allergic reactions to red meat and is linked to tick bites. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting the urgency of addressing public health concerns related to reportable diseases.
