HB 2861 Tennessee House · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Health Care - As enacted, prohibits a healthcare provider from coercing a person, including a person who has legal authority to make healthcare decisions for a child, to consent to a vaccination, misleading or misrepresenting that a vaccination is required by state law when state law provides an exemption, or misleading or misrepresenting that a newborn screening test is required by state law. - Amends TCA Title 14; Title 37, Chapter 10, Part 4; Title 49 and Title 63.

This bill amends state public health laws to require the health commissioner to send electronic copies of certain reports to the governor and both legislative leaders. It directly affects the state health department by changing how and to whom specific health data must be shared. The change is a procedural update to existing reporting requirements rather than a new policy on healthcare services.
