Jails, Local Lock-ups - As enacted, generally makes the state liable and responsible for paying the expenses for HIV medication for inmates committed to a county jail or workhouse who previously received prescription medication to treat HIV or AIDS through a state department, agency, or program, including TennCare. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 41 and Title 68.

This bill requires county jails and workhouses to check if inmates with HIV previously received medication coverage from state programs like TennCare. If an inmate's prior coverage is confirmed, the state becomes financially responsible for paying for their HIV medication while incarcerated. The legislation allows counties to file claims for reimbursement and permits the use of federal funds to cover these costs.
