Required drug tests after deadly mass shootings
Beginning July 1, 2025, Tennessee requires drug testing during autopsies of people suspected of committing mass shootings causing four or more deaths. County medical examiners and regional forensic centers must test for all drugs, including therapeutic levels of psychotropic drugs. These include prescribed mental or behavioral health medicines and other prescribed drugs that directly affect the central nervous system. The definition also includes hormonal medicines mainly intended to change physical appearance and sexual characteristics present at birth. Examiners must consult the person's treating mental health professional or primary care doctor when known and reasonably identifiable through next of kin. Drug-use information goes to the Tennessee Department of Health and the University of Tennessee Health Science Center's College of Pharmacy. Only a blood sample is sent to the college, which must study interactions between psychotropic drugs and other drugs found. The college is allowed, but not required, to send quarterly data reports to the chief clerks of both legislative houses. No identifying information may be shared with the department or college, and all participating agencies must follow state and federal privacy laws.
