Infectious Diseases - As enacted, deletes all references to the world health organization; requires a pandemic to be declared by the federal centers for disease and prevention control, rather than the world health organization, with a subsequent declaration of a state of emergency by the governor for the governor to have exclusive jurisdiction to issue executive orders and directives related to the pandemic until the pandemic ceases to exist. - Amends TCA Title 7 and Title 68.

This bill amends Tennessee law to remove all references to the World Health Organization (WHO) in pandemic response procedures. It requires the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), not the WHO, to declare a pandemic, after which the governor must declare a state of emergency to gain exclusive authority to issue pandemic-related executive orders. The law directly affects Tennessee's public health response system by shifting declaration authority from the WHO to the CDC and centralizing emergency powers with the governor. These changes take effect upon the governor's signature, as specified in the bill's text.
