Tennessee SB0329 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) across multiple titles, primarily updating language and provisions related to electronic prescriptions and the handling of prescriptions by pharmacists. The bill affects healthcare providers, pharmacists, and patients by clarifying the requirements for prescription verification and the acceptance of written, oral, or faxed prescriptions. A notable change includes the removal of a provision that would have mandated the transition from "faxed" to "electronically transmitted" prescriptions, allowing pharmacists to continue dispensing medications based on faxed prescriptions under certain conditions.
