Bill > HB2567

This bill, known as the "Parents' Bill of Rights," amends various Tennessee statutes to establish a set of rights for parents regarding their minor children. The key provisions include the right to direct the child's education, upbringing, moral or religious training, and healthcare decisions, as well as the right to access and review the child's school and medical records. The bill also requires written parental consent for certain medical procedures and prohibits school employees from encouraging a child to withhold information from their parent. The bill does not apply to unlawful or abusive parental conduct, and it does not prescribe all parental rights, which may be more comprehensive under the law.
