Bill > SB0676

This bill requires any gender clinic in Tennessee that receives state funds to provide gender transition procedures to also provide detransition procedures, which are treatments to stop, reverse, or cope with the effects of gender transition. It also mandates that insurance policies covering gender transition procedures must also cover detransition procedures, with specific requirements for policies offered both inside and outside of the state's health insurance marketplace exchange. Furthermore, both gender clinics and insurance entities that cover detransition procedures will be required to report detailed statistics about these procedures to the Tennessee Department of Health, excluding individually identifiable health information, and the department will then compile and publish annual reports on this data. The bill defines key terms such as "detransition procedure," "gender transition procedure," and "gender clinic" and includes provisions for enforcement, including potential disciplinary action for healthcare professionals and civil fines for clinics.
