HB 2380 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Abortion - As enacted, revises present law that authorizes the attorney general to bring an action to enforce compliance with the Tennessee Abortion-Inducing Drug Risk Protocol Act or intervene as a matter of right in a case in which the constitutionality of such act is challenged; makes related changes. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 18; Title 29, Chapter 39 and Title 63, Chapter 6, Part 11.

HB 2380 requires Tennessee's Administrative Office of the Courts to study whether current limits on compensation for pain, suffering, and severe injuries (like medical malpractice cases) should be increased. The office must submit a report with recommendations to the chairs of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House committee overseeing civil matters by January 1, 2027. This bill does not change existing law but directs a formal review of the current damage caps. It affects the courts' process for evaluating compensation rules but does not directly impact residents or businesses until a potential policy change occurs. The bill is currently pending review by the Health Committee's Population Health Subcommittee.
