SB 1153 prohibits physicians and podiatrists in Tennessee from prescribing, administering, or treating themselves or their immediate family (spouse, parents, children, siblings) with medication or medical care, except in minor, self-limited, short-term, or emergency situations. It also strictly bans prescribing or administering controlled substances (scheduled drugs) to themselves or family members under any circumstances. An exception allows treatment of family within a physician’s regular scope of practice if no other doctor is available within 30 miles of their primary practice location. The bill applies to all licensed physicians and podiatrists in Tennessee and requires them to maintain records of any permitted treatments.
