House Bill 2021, also known as Senate Bill 2358, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 63, which pertains to podiatry. The bill specifically modifies the language in Section 63-3-101(a) 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 anatomical references related to podiatric practice.
The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the amendment for public welfare. The adjustments made in the legal language are intended to enhance the understanding and application of podiatric regulations in Tennessee.
