Tennessee HB0321 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated related to prescription practices by pharmacists. The bill primarily affects pharmacists and healthcare prescribers by allowing pharmacists to continue dispensing medications based on valid written, oral, or faxed prescriptions without requiring verification from the prescriber regarding exceptions to electronic prescribing requirements. A key change in the bill is the removal of a provision that would have replaced "faxed" and "fax" with "electronically transmitted" in the context of prescription verification.
