Abortion - As introduced, adds the chairs of the judiciary committee of the senate and the committee of the house of representatives with jurisdiction over criminal justice-related matters to whom the department of health shall submit a report of each abortion procedure and the disposition of the aborted fetus or aborted fetal tissue to no later than January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year. - Amends TCA Section 39-15-203.
SB 935 amends Tennessee law to require the Department of Health to submit quarterly reports on abortion procedures and the disposition of aborted fetal tissue to two specific legislative committee chairs: the Senate Judiciary Committee chair and the House committee overseeing criminal justice. The reports must be filed on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 each year. This bill does not change abortion access or procedures but adds a reporting requirement for state health officials to these designated lawmakers. It is a procedural update to existing law (TCA § 39-15-203), focusing solely on transparency about abortion data.
