House Bill 389, also known as Senate Bill 363, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 63, concerning pain management practices. The bill specifically modifies Section 63-1-306(c) by changing the duration for which certain prescriptions can be issued from "thirty (30) days" to "fourteen (14) days." This adjustment aims to tighten regulations around pain management prescriptions, potentially addressing concerns related to prescription drug misuse.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, contingent upon the public welfare. This timeline allows for any necessary adjustments or preparations within the healthcare system to comply with the new prescription duration requirements.
