Weekly Newsletter March 28

We are closing in on the end of session. I was able to close out my Health Subcommittee this week and do believe we passed some
great things that will benefit rural Tennesseans when it comes to our health. One of the more impactful bills that moved out of our
committee was addressing Certificate of Need (CON) repeal. This will allow more competition within hospitals and outpatient clinics.
By allowing the free market more opportunities, costs will decrease and we should see better quality of care overall.
Over the next 3 weeks we will see another 200+ bills move through the committee process. I have 7 still active and hope to have a
few make it to the house floor during this period.
