Amends TCA Title 33; Title 68 and Title 71.

Tennessee HB0144 requires the Department of Health to report annually on hospital admissions and emergency department visits categorized by patients' citizenship status, including those lawfully present, not lawfully present, and those who decline to answer. It affects hospitals that accept Medicaid, mandating them to include a citizenship status question on patient admission forms while ensuring that responses do not impact patient care or result in reporting to immigration authorities. Key provisions include the requirement for quarterly reporting by hospitals and the establishment of rules by the Department of Health to implement the bill without disclosing personal identifying information.
