Anatomical Gifts - As introduced, changes from July to January, the month when a medical facility and research institution covered under the Tennessee Genomic Security and End Organ Harvesting Act must certify to the commissioner of health that the facility and institution are compliant with the requirements in the act. - Amends TCA Title 63 and Title 68.
SB 2268 changes the deadline for medical facilities and research institutions to certify compliance with Tennessee's anatomical gifts laws. It amends Tennessee law to require these entities to submit their compliance certification to the health commissioner by January 1 instead of July 1 each year. The bill does not create new requirements but adjusts the timing of an existing annual certification process under the Tennessee Genomic Security and End Organ Harvesting Act. This change directly affects hospitals, research centers, and other facilities covered by the act.
