Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Local bans barred on minors' gender therapy

Tennessee cities and counties cannot ban mental health therapy addressing differences between a minor's sex and perceived gender or sex. They also cannot bar parents or legal guardians from consenting to or withholding consent for that therapy. This protection applies to children under 18.

More coverage and access for detransition care

Detransition care includes therapy, medical treatment, and surgery to stop, reverse, or address the effects of earlier transition procedures. Tennessee-regulated plans outside the marketplace that cover transition procedures must also cover detransition care. This applies to policies issued, renewed, or amended on or after the law took effect upon becoming law. Marketplace coverage depends on federal approval and implementation of the state's required-benefits change, along with policy timing and transition coverage. Tennessee's insurance department must seek the federal waiver within 90 days after the law takes effect. Clinics receiving state money directly or indirectly for transition procedures must agree to provide or pay for detransition care.

Clinics and insurers face new reporting rules

Gender clinics must report prescribed transition procedures to Tennessee's health department, using forms signed by the prescribing professional. Reports include prescription dates, age, sex, residence, treatment details, provider identification, and relevant diagnoses. Insurers covering detransition care must report claim counts, age, sex, residence, and the initial transition date when known. Clinic reports are due within 15 days after the prescription month ends; insurer reports follow the same deadline after claim approval. Forms must exclude identifying patient health information and follow federal privacy rules. Annual reports to lawmakers are due December 31, 2026, and every December 31 afterward, without identifying individual clinics. The department must also publish downloadable, de-identified data without identifying individual providers. Violations can bring professional discipline including at least six months' suspension, clinic fines up to $150,000 per violation, and attorney general investigations.
