Medical Occupations - As introduced, requires a person who is licensed to practice a healing art; who was an officer in the commissioned medical corps of the army, the navy, the air force, or the public health service of the United States; and who was subsequently discharged, instead of honorably discharged, to register with the appropriate board licensing that profession. - Amends TCA Title 63.

SB 223 requires military medical personnel who were discharged from the U.S. armed forces or public health service (other than honorably) to register with Tennessee's licensing board before practicing their profession in the state. This change affects veterans in medical fields (like doctors or nurses) who received non-honorable discharges and now seek to work in Tennessee healthcare. The bill amends licensing rules to mandate this registration step, ensuring these individuals meet state requirements before practicing. It directly impacts military medical professionals with specific discharge statuses, not all veterans or healthcare workers. The policy focuses on licensing compliance for this defined group, with no additional provisions or funding changes described.
