AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's existing law regarding abortion reporting by expanding the list of officials who must receive detailed reports from the Department of Health about abortion procedures. Specifically, the bill adds the chairs of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Committee responsible for criminal justice-related matters to the existing reporting requirements. Currently, these quarterly reports (due on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 each year) would now be sent not only to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, but also to these additional committee chairs. The reports will continue to include information about each abortion procedure and the disposition of the aborted fetus or fetal tissue. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the legislature citing the public welfare as the rationale for its swift implementation.
