Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Required retention of disability service records
Beginning July 1, 2025, Tennessee’s Department of Disability and Aging and contracted providers must keep detailed disability service records. Department facility records, clinic records, and individual support plans must stay available for at least 10 years after services end. For minors’ facility or clinic records, retention lasts at least 10 years after they reach the age of majority. Other department and contracted-provider records must be kept for at least six years. Records may be copied or moved between formats. Originals may be destroyed once copies are certified as true and correct.
Fewer approval steps for public disability beds
Certain Department of Disability and Aging public beds no longer need certificate-of-need review or approval. The exemption covers non-facility beds for Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities. Beds must be established under federal settlements or orders in United States v. State of Tennessee (No. 92-2062-ML/A) or People First of Tennessee v. Clover Bottom Developmental Center (No. 00-5342). Private beds of this type remain subject to certificate-of-need requirements.
Narrower coverage in certain disability laws
The law removes references to intellectual disability from Tennessee Code §§ 33-3-802 and 33-3-803. It also removes references to developmental disability from § 33-3-904. These changes narrow the disability categories expressly covered by those provisions. The supplied text does not identify which services or procedures change.
Clearer authority to share disability records
The law recognizes emancipated minors described in § 52-7-104 as people served who may authorize disclosures under these rules. A conservator may authorize disclosures when the court grants authority to disclose information or make healthcare decisions for the person. Managing only someone’s estate or property does not give a conservator authority to disclose confidential information.
