Senate Bill 1583, sponsored by Walley, amends Tennessee Code Annotated to enhance reporting requirements related to controlled substances. Specifically, it adds a new requirement to Section 68-7-109(d), mandating that reports submitted on or after January 1, 2027, must include an analysis of the effects of Executive Order No. 14370 and any subsequent federal actions on the increase of medical marijuana and cannabidiol research.

The bill aims to ensure that future reports provide a comprehensive understanding of how federal actions impact the landscape of medical marijuana and cannabidiol research in Tennessee. This legislative change reflects a growing interest in the implications of federal policies on state-level substance use and research initiatives. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of addressing these issues for public welfare.
