Senate Bill 669 proposes amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning references to the World Health Organization (WHO) in two specific sections. In Section 7-51-209(a)(4)(C)(i), the bill removes the phrase "the World Health Organization or," effectively eliminating any mention of WHO in that context. Additionally, in Section 68-2-611(a)(1), the bill replaces "world health organization" with "federal centers for disease control and prevention," thereby shifting the focus from WHO to the CDC.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the changes for public welfare. Overall, the amendments reflect a legislative intent to prioritize the federal CDC over the WHO in Tennessee's legal framework.
