SB 2044 directs Tennessee's Department of Health to study health concerns and barriers to care specifically for people whose biological sex is female. The bill requires the department to identify obstacles in receiving better healthcare and submit a final report to the Tennessee General Assembly by January 1, 2027. It amends multiple sections of Tennessee law (Titles 28, 29, 49, 56, 63, and 68) related to definitions of biological sex. This is a procedural bill focused solely on mandating a study and report, with no immediate policy changes or direct impacts on healthcare services.
