Senate Bill 1199, sponsored by Jackson, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 33-6-109, which pertains to mental health reporting requirements. The bill mandates that the department responsible for mental health must now report quarterly to "the legislative librarian," thereby expanding the list of recipients for these reports.

The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of transparency and communication regarding mental health issues within the state. This change aims to enhance oversight and ensure that relevant stakeholders are informed about mental health developments and statistics.
