Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Stricter adoption support rules and expanded filings
In Tennessee adoption cases, token payments do not count as financial support. These payments are merely a formality, very infrequent, or very brief, and intended to provide only minimal support. This applies to payments benefiting the child or mother during pregnancy or while the mother had physical custody. Covered adoption filings can use a declaration allowed by Tennessee civil court Rule 72 instead of an affidavit. These changes took effect upon enactment.
Children's vaccines require documented parental consent
Healthcare providers cannot vaccinate a minor without prior informed consent from a parent, legal guardian, or prospective adoptive parent. Providers must document receiving consent and include proof in the child's medical record. This requirement took effect upon enactment.
