House Bill 389 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 63-1-306(c), by changing the duration for which certain pain management prescriptions can be issued. The bill replaces the existing language of "thirty (30) days" with "fourteen (14) days," thereby reducing the maximum prescription period for pain management medications.
The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the need for timely implementation to address public welfare concerns related to pain management practices.
