House Bill 383, also known as Senate Bill 744, amends Tennessee law to require the commissioner of health to include alpha-gal syndrome in the list of reportable diseases and conditions. This addition mandates that healthcare providers report occurrences of alpha-gal syndrome to the Department of Health by July 1, 2025, in accordance with existing administrative rules.

The bill emphasizes the importance of tracking and managing alpha-gal syndrome, which is a condition linked to tick bites that can cause allergic reactions to red meat. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting the urgency of addressing this public health concern.
