SB 2274 allows Tennessee crematory facilities to provide electronic receipts instead of paper receipts when a person delivers a human body or body parts for cremation. This bill amends TCA Section 62-5-509(a) to update the legal requirement from "a written receipt" to "a written or electronic receipt," modernizing documentation for this specific transaction. It directly affects crematory operators and the individuals delivering remains by streamlining administrative processes. The change takes effect upon the bill's enactment, with no additional requirements for facilities or recipients.
