SB 372 is a procedural bill that requests the Tennessee Human Rights Commission to study whether healthcare providers face discrimination for refusing certain services (like abortion or contraception) based on religious, moral, or ethical beliefs. It does not change existing laws but directs the Commission to include findings from this study in its annual report. The bill directly affects healthcare providers who decline specific services for personal beliefs, though it does not impose new requirements on them. The bill was introduced in 2025 but later withdrawn and recalled from committee.
