House Bill 383 amends Tennessee law to require the commissioner of health to include alpha-gal syndrome in the list of reportable diseases and conditions by July 1, 2025. This means that healthcare providers will be mandated to report occurrences of this syndrome to the department of health in accordance with established administrative rules.

The bill emphasizes the importance of tracking alpha-gal syndrome, which is a condition linked to tick bites that can cause allergic reactions to red meat. By adding this syndrome to the reportable diseases list, the state aims to enhance public health monitoring and response efforts related to this condition. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the urgency of addressing public health concerns.
