SB 1196 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Hospitals and Health Care Facilities - As introduced, authorizes an assisted-care living facility to comply with any requirement to post information in the facility by making such information available on an electronic screen clearly visible to residents and the public subject to approval by the board for licensing health care facilities. - Amends TCA Title 63 and Title 68.

SB 1196 allows assisted-care living facilities in Tennessee to display required posted information (like policies or safety notices) on electronic screens visible to residents and the public, instead of traditional physical signs. This change requires prior approval from the state board that licenses health care facilities. The bill amends Tennessee law (Titles 63 and 68) governing long-term care facilities to implement this flexible compliance method. It directly affects assisted-care living facilities seeking to meet posting requirements under state regulations.
