SB 2368 requires Tennessee's state treasurer to study how neighboring states use public funds for gender transition procedures, specifically examining restrictions they impose on such funding. The bill mandates compiling these findings into a report to be delivered to the Tennessee General Assembly by December 31, 2026. This is a purely informational study with no new funding restrictions or policy changes for Tennessee; it uses existing state resources and focuses solely on gathering data from other states. The bill does not alter current Tennessee funding practices or impose new requirements on residents.
