Senate Bill 619, also known as House Bill 657, amends Tennessee Code Annotated to introduce a new provision regarding licensed or registered health care providers who have faced adverse actions against their licenses. Specifically, the bill allows these providers to petition the relevant board to remove public information about the adverse action and consent order after ten years, provided they have completed all requirements of a peer assistance or treatment program contract. The relevant board is tasked with reviewing these requests and has the authority to remove the information from public dissemination if the request is approved.

Additionally, the bill empowers the division of health-related boards to create rules to implement this act, which must be done in accordance with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act. The act will take effect immediately for the purpose of rule promulgation, while other provisions will become effective on July 1, 2025.
