House Bill 1650 and Senate Bill 1661 propose amendments to various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically focusing on health care regulations. The primary change involves the annual reporting requirements of the board, which is now mandated to submit a report of its proceedings and activities to the governor and the general assembly by February 1 each year. Additionally, copies of this report will be made available to any interested parties.

The bill emphasizes transparency and accountability in health care governance by ensuring that the board's activities are documented and accessible to the public. This change is intended to enhance oversight and inform stakeholders about the board's operations and decisions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the urgency of its provisions for public welfare.
