Full text of Tennessee Tennessee Code Annotated § 33-6-102 — Development of system — Purpose., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 33-6-102. Development of system — Purpose.
The department shall maintain a system to assure the most appropriate and effective services for publicly funded service recipients. Acts 1985, ch. 437, § 31; T.C.A., § 33-2-601 ; Acts 2000, ch. 947, § 1. Attorney General Opinions. T.C.A. §§ 33-6-102 to 33-6-106 are compatible with the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), 42 U.S.C. § 1395 dd, regardless of whether or not an examination takes place at a facility that provides in-patient mental health treatment, and, therefore, there is no federal preemption, OAG 01-078, 2001 Tenn. AG LEXIS 69 (5/8/01). T.C.A. §§ 33-6-102 to 33-6-106 do not conflict with the settlement agreement in a case in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee as the settlement agreement applied to the TennCare program and its contractors, rather than to general state law, OAG 01-078, 2001 Tenn. AG LEXIS 69 (5/8/01).
