Drugs, Prescription - As introduced, authorizes an owner or person in legal possession of drugs or devices deemed adulterated to request a show cause hearing electronically, rather than strictly in writing. - Amends TCA Title 47; Title 53; Title 56; Title 63 and Title 68.

HB 2173 allows owners or people legally in possession of drugs or devices deemed adulterated under federal FDA approval to request a "show cause" hearing electronically, rather than only in writing. It directly affects individuals or entities facing regulatory notices about their medications or medical devices. The bill amends Tennessee Code sections 53-10-106 and others to update the hearing request process, requiring requests to be submitted within 10 days of receiving a notice. This change streamlines the process for affected parties without altering the underlying drug regulations.
