Amends TCA Title 28 and Title 29.
Tennessee SB1806 amends the Tennessee Code Annotated by removing the three-year statute of repose for healthcare liability actions related to injuries that were not discovered at the time of the negligent act. This change allows individuals to file a lawsuit within one year of discovering the injury, rather than being limited by the previous three-year timeframe. The bill primarily affects patients who may have been harmed by healthcare providers but were unaware of the injury until after the original statute of repose had expired.
