SB 1052 clarifies that a biological father who provides minimal financial support (such as infrequent or short-term payments) during pregnancy or while the mother had physical custody is not considered a legal father for adoption purposes, removing his right to contest an adoption. It also updates adoption procedures to allow declarations under Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure instead of affidavits and requires healthcare providers to obtain documented parental or guardian consent before vaccinating minors. The bill directly affects biological fathers in adoption cases, adoption courts, and healthcare providers treating children. These changes took effect on May 5, 2025.
