Hospitals and Health Care Facilities - As enacted, requires each fertility clinic operating in this state to obtain a certificate from the department of health to perform assisted reproductive technology services. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 29; Title 36; Title 63 and Title 68.

HB 2290 requires fertility clinics and practitioners in Tennessee to obtain certification from the Department of Health to provide assisted reproductive technology (ART) services. It creates new rules mandating certification for ART practice, limits genetic embryo testing to chromosomal abnormalities or fatal fetal anomalies, and requires standardized consent forms explaining embryo care options. The bill defines ART using federal standards (42 U.S.C. § 263a-7) and prohibits unlicensed practice, applying directly to all ART providers in the state. These changes take effect once the certification process is established, with providers needing certification within 60 days of rule implementation.
