Senate Bill 2246, also known as House Bill 2558, proposes an amendment to the Tennessee Code Annotated regarding certificates of need. Specifically, it modifies Section 68-11-1607(c)(1)(A) by changing the timeframe for a certain requirement from "fifteen (15) days" to "thirty (30) days." This adjustment aims to provide additional time for compliance with the regulations surrounding certificates of need.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation. The extended timeframe is likely intended to facilitate a smoother process for stakeholders involved in the certificate of need application and review process.
