TN Code § 68-9-207 (2019) (N/A)
Copy with citation
Copy as parenthetical citation

(a) If, at any time after being isolated or quarantined, any person so isolated or quarantined shall, in the opinion of the commissioner or health officer in charge of the place of isolation or quarantine, be a fit and proper person for release from the isolation or quarantine to become a voluntary patient in any hospital for the treatment of tuberculosis, then the commissioner or health officer is authorized and empowered to release the isolated or quarantined person for admission into such a hospital.

(b) If the isolated or quarantined person so released shall ever hereafter for any reason become a proper person against whom § 68-9-206 should be again invoked, the former release of the person from isolation or quarantine under this section shall not constitute a bar against again invoking § 68-9-206 or any other provisions of this chapter against the person, but the necessity for again invoking § 68-9-206 or any other provisions of this chapter shall be deemed and constitute a new and separate violation of this chapter.
