Senate Bill 2437, also known as House Bill 2173, amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding medications approved by the federal food and drug administration. The bill specifically modifies Section 53-10-106 by deleting the existing subsection (d) and replacing it with new language that requires the owner or person in legal possession of the drugs or devices to request a hearing in writing or electronically within ten days of receiving a notice to show cause to the board. This change aims to clarify the process for contesting the status of certain drugs or devices under the law.

The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare in its implementation. This legislative change is intended to streamline the process for individuals or entities involved in disputes regarding the classification of medications and devices, ensuring that they have a clear and timely opportunity to present their case to the board.
