Tennessee HJR0069 urges the state to adopt policies improving public health and reducing healthcare costs.

Tennessee HJR0069 calls for policies to improve public health, reduce healthcare costs, and provide resources for healthy living. It recommends high nutritional standards for facilities, wellness programs for state employees, and health and wellness curricula in K-12 schools. The resolution also advocates for greater access to lifestyle medicine practitioners, the use of health savings accounts for preventative care, and reforms to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to exclude junk food and incentivize fresh, nutrient-dense options.
