Tennessee legislature called into special session
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has called a special session of the Tennessee General Assembly for Monday, August 10, to address COVID-19 liability protections, telehealth services and laws governing the Capitol grounds. “As COVID-19 continues to present unique challenges, we feel it is in the best interest of the state to convene a special session to address liability protections and telehealth,” the governor said. The special session will address extending COVID-19 liability protections in order to provide what the governor calls "legal clarity and certainty for health care providers, businesses, schools, non-profits and others". Lawmakers will address the expansion of telehealth services to Tennesseans and encourage insurers to cover clinically appropriate, medically necessary services provided via telehealth. Lawmakers will also address laws governing Capitol grounds and surrounding areas that have recently been subject to vandalism, defacement and overnight camping.
