This Tennessee law creates a new legal path for individuals to sue anyone who intentionally takes a minor out of the state to get a medical procedure that would be illegal if performed locally. The rule applies to people who recruit, hide, or transport minors for these procedures, regardless of where the actual medical service happens. It specifically targets actions taken without parental consent when the goal is to bypass state restrictions on certain healthcare services. The law became effective on July 1, 2024, and updates several existing sections of the state code to clarify these prohibitions.
