Amends TCA Title 33 and Title 71.
Present law requires the department of intellectual and developmental disabilities to submit to the finance, ways and means committees of each chamber of the general assembly and to the comptroller a written assessment of the fiscal impact on persons licenses under the Mental Health, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and/or Treatment, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and Personal Support Services Licensure Law of any change to any rule, regulation, policy, or guideline relating to the staffing, physical plant or operating procedures of the licensee for rendering services pursuant to a contract, grant, or agreement with the department. This bill changes present law by requiring the department to submit the written assessment of fiscal impact on persons licensed by the department, rather than persons licensed under the Mental Health, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and/or Treatment, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and Personal Support Services Licensure Law, and requires the department to assess impacts on licensees who operate under a contract, grant, or agreement with the bureau of TennCare and managed care organizations that participate in the TennCare program to the same extent as the department assesses impacts on licensees who operate under a contract, grant, or agreement with the department under present law.
