Bill Summary

As introduced, requires the attorney general to report to the speaker of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives certain information regarding violations of the prohibition against using medical procedures to enable a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex or to treat purported discomfort or distress from discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity. - Amends TCA Title 9; Title 14; Title 28; Title 29; Title 33; Title 34; Title 36; Title 37; Title 39; Title 40; Title 49; Title 50; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Tennessee Attorney General to submit an annual report by March 1st to the speakers of the Senate and House of Representatives detailing specific information about legal violations related to medical procedures for minors. Specifically, the report must include the number of reported violations of the chapter (which appears to relate to restrictions on medical procedures for transgender minors), the number of legal actions brought against healthcare providers or individuals who knowingly violate these regulations, and the total amount of civil penalties collected for such violations. The bill amends multiple sections of Tennessee Code Annotated, spanning various titles related to medical practices, and will take effect immediately upon becoming law. The reporting requirement seems designed to increase transparency and tracking of enforcement efforts surrounding medical procedures for minors, particularly those involving gender-affirming care.
