Draft Text

Tennessee HB2197 amends health care licensing to allow individuals to request a notice on their criminal history qualification before applying.

Tennessee HB2197 amends the Tennessee Code to allow individuals to request a notice from a licensing authority about their qualification to obtain a health care license, certification, or registration based on their criminal history. If disqualified, the authority must provide a written notification of the reasons and justification. This notice applies only to the individual's criminal history and does not prevent denial on other grounds. The bill also allows for electronic submission of this notice. The changes take effect immediately upon becoming law.
