Ambulance charges change and deadline moves back

The law replaces a $50-per-calendar-day charge under Tennessee's ambulance provisions with 5% of the principal amount owed each month. Costs can rise or fall depending on the amount owed and how long it remains unpaid. The law also moves the specified date from June 30, 2026, to June 30, 2027. Both changes took effect when the act became law. The provided text does not identify who owes the charge or what the extended date controls.
