AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee law to grant the attorney general and reporter the authority to file civil lawsuits to ensure compliance with the Tennessee Abortion-Inducing Drug Risk Protocol Act, which outlines specific procedures for the use of abortion-inducing drugs. The attorney general can also seek civil penalties for knowing violations of this act, with a penalty of $10,000 per violation, which can increase to $1,000,000 if a court finds that a violation resulted in serious bodily injury or death to an individual. The bill specifies that each instance of providing an abortion-inducing drug in violation of the protocol constitutes a separate violation and will take effect on July 1, 2026, applying to actions occurring on or after that date.
