Bill > SB1677

This bill clarifies that "contraceptive supplies" under the Family Planning Act of 1971, a law designed to promote family planning services, specifically includes oral hormonal contraceptives, which are pills taken by mouth to prevent pregnancy, and hormonal contraceptive patches, which are worn on the skin to release hormones for pregnancy prevention. This amendment aims to ensure these common forms of contraception are explicitly covered by the existing law, which is reflected in changes to Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Section 68-34-102(3), and will take effect upon becoming law due to its importance for public well-being.
