Anatomical Gifts - As introduced, specifies that genome sequencing data may be stored within a foreign adversary or remotely accessed by a foreign adversary if the data is collected as part of a clinical trial or other biomedical research study conducted in accordance with federal rules. - Amends TCA Title 68, Chapter 30.
SB 1571 modifies Tennessee's anatomical gifts law to allow genome sequencing data collected during federally compliant clinical trials or biomedical research to be stored outside the U.S. or remotely accessed by foreign adversaries. This exception applies specifically to data gathered under federal rules (28 CFR Part 202) and directly affects researchers and institutions conducting such studies in Tennessee. The bill adds this exception to existing regulations governing how anatomical gift data may be handled. It does not change other aspects of the law or impose new requirements on data storage.
