House Bill 389, sponsored by Terry, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 63-1-306(c), which pertains to pain management regulations. The bill seeks to change the current duration for which certain prescriptions can be issued from "thirty (30) days" to "fourteen (14) days." This adjustment aims to tighten the control over prescription practices in pain management, potentially addressing concerns related to prescription drug misuse.

The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation. By reducing the prescription duration, the bill intends to enhance monitoring and regulation of pain management practices within the state.
