Senate Bill 2221, also known as House Bill 2097, amends certain provisions of the Tennessee Code Annotated regarding ambulances. Specifically, it modifies Section 71-5-1506(a) by replacing the existing fee structure of "fifty dollars ($50.00) per calendar day for each day" with a new fee of "five percent (5%) of the principal amount owed per month for each month." This change aims to adjust the financial obligations related to ambulance services.

Additionally, the bill extends the deadline for a specific provision in Section 71-5-1509 by changing the date from "June 30, 2026" to "June 30, 2027." This extension may provide more time for compliance or implementation of related regulations.
