House Bill 2021, sponsored by Martin B, seeks to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 63, specifically regarding the practice of podiatry. The bill modifies the definition of anatomical structures relevant to podiatric practice by deleting the phrase "structures extending no higher than the distal tibial metaphyseal flair" and replacing it with "of the lower leg distal to the tibial tuberosity." This change aims to clarify the scope of podiatric care and the anatomical areas that podiatrists are authorized to treat.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the amendment for public welfare. By refining the legal language, the bill intends to enhance the understanding and application of podiatric practices within the state of Tennessee.
