SB 2412 Tennessee Senate · 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.

SB 2412 (Tennessee) requires the Administrative Office of the Courts to study whether the current cap on compensation for noneconomic damages (like pain and suffering) in civil injury cases should be raised. The office must submit a report with recommendations to Senate and House judiciary committee chairs by January 1, 2027. This bill does not change existing law but directs a formal review of the damage limit. It affects civil litigation involving personal injury claims where current caps apply, but the bill itself only mandates research - not policy change.
