Tennessee SB1153 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 33; Title 39; Title 53; Title 63 and Title 68, relative to healthcare services. It defines "immediate family" as a physician's or podiatrist's spouse, parent, child, sibling, or another individual in relation to whom a physician's or podiatrist's personal or emotional involvement may render that physician or podiatrist unable to exercise detached professional judgment in reaching diagnostic or therapeutic decisions. The bill mandates that physicians and podiatrists maintain records of all treatment provided.
