Bill > SB2726

This bill, titled the "Parents' Bill of Rights," amends several Tennessee laws to establish a broad set of rights for parents of minor children. The key provisions include the rights to direct the child's education, upbringing, moral/religious training, and healthcare decisions, as well as the rights to access the child's records, provide consent for certain medical procedures or biometric scans, and be promptly notified if criminal misconduct against the child is suspected. The bill also prohibits anyone from encouraging a child to withhold information from their parent, except in limited circumstances. Overall, the bill aims to empower parents and limit government or institutional interference in the parent-child relationship, with some exceptions for cases of abuse, neglect, or emergencies.
