Senate Bill 882 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 68-11-203(b)(F)(iii), regarding the composition of the health facilities commission. The bill deletes the existing language in that subdivision and substitutes it with a new provision that mandates the inclusion of one representative from the assisted-care living facility industry. This representative may be appointed from lists of qualified individuals submitted by interested groups, including the Tennessee Center for Assisted Living.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare in its implementation. This change aims to ensure that the health facilities commission has direct representation from the assisted-care living sector, thereby enhancing the commission's ability to address the needs and concerns of this industry.
