## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- Tennessee opioid testing rule faces conflicting descriptions: benefit, low. The backing provision says the law keeps Tennessee’s synthetic-opioid testing equipment rule in effect beyond July 1, 2025. The bill summary instead says that rule is repealed on that date. These accounts conflict, and neither explains the underlying rule or its direct effects on residents.
