House Bill 614, sponsored by Travis, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 56-7-3111, to enhance the confidentiality and security of pharmacy information shared with pharmacy services administrative organizations or similar entities. The bill deletes the last sentence of the existing section and replaces it with new provisions that mandate these organizations or entities to not disclose the shared information to any third party. Additionally, they are required to comply with a pharmacy's written request to destroy the shared information within five business days of receiving such a request.

This legislation aims to protect sensitive pharmacy information and ensure that pharmacies have control over their data, reinforcing the importance of privacy in pharmacy services. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of its implementation for public welfare.
