Health Care - As introduced, authorizes electronic filing of the annual report by a sponsoring not-for-profit corporation providing healthcare services to low income individuals pursuant to the Memphis Plan Act of 1991, with the commissioner of commerce and insurance. - Amends TCA Title 56, Chapter 7.
HB 2170 allows healthcare nonprofits serving low-income patients under Tennessee's Memphis Plan Act to file their annual reports electronically with the Commissioner of Commerce and Insurance, instead of only submitting paper copies. This bill specifically affects not-for-profit corporations that provide healthcare services to low-income individuals through the Memphis Plan Act of 1991. The key change amends Tennessee law to explicitly permit electronic filing as an option for these annual reports, while maintaining the requirement to file them. The bill does not alter the content of the reports or the entities required to submit them, only the method of submission. This change aims to modernize administrative processes for these specific healthcare providers.
