Health, Dept. of - As introduced, requires the commissioner to report to the chairs of legislative committees having jurisdiction over health-related matters on the standards and policies for assisted reproductive technology in this state. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 29; Title 36; Title 63 and Title 68.
SB 793 requires the Tennessee Commissioner of Health to submit a report to the chairs of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee and the relevant House committee on the current standards and policies governing assisted reproductive technology (ART) in the state by July 1, 2025. This bill does not create new regulations or change existing laws but mandates a formal update for legislative committees on how ART - such as in vitro fertilization - is currently regulated. The report will provide lawmakers with a clear overview of the state's existing framework for fertility treatments without altering any policy. This procedural requirement ensures transparency for elected officials overseeing health-related matters.
