AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 58, Chapter 1, Part 2, relative to the "Tennessee National Guard Servicemember's Medical Readiness Act."

Complete·5/27/25

Establishes a TRICARE premium reimbursement program for Tennessee National Guard members.

The bill creates the Tennessee National Guard TRICARE Premium Reimbursement Program within the military department. It defines "eligible recipient" as a Tennessee National Guard member eligible for TRICARE Reserve Select or TRICARE Dental Program coverage. The military department can award reimbursement grants for premiums paid for individual coverage under these programs. If the federal government later reimburses any portion of these premiums, the state program will cease reimbursement for that portion. The adjutant general will establish policies and guidelines for the program.
