Tennessee House passes bill expanding 'Duty to Warn' to all healthcare providers

Tennessee continues in its ongoing efforts to pass mental health reform laws.

This week the full state House passed a bill that expands the Tennessee 'Duty to Warn' law.

Right now, mental health professionals are required to sound the alarm if they have a patient who is a threat, specifically if they have made threatening statements. This amendment expands that to all healthcare professionals.
