SB 449 - HB 533
SUMMARY OF BILL: Enacts the Fertility Treatment and Contraceptive Protection Act.
Establishes the right of an individual to engage in activities associated with fertility treatment and
contraception in the state.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NOT SIGNIFICANT
Assumptions:
• Establishing the right of an individual to perform, and the right of an individual to receive
or use, fertility treatment and contraceptives in the state will not have a significant impact
on policies or procedures of the Department of Health or the health-related boards.
• The proposed legislation does not require health insurance entities to provide coverage for
any specific fertility treatment or contraceptive.
• Any impact to the Division of Benefits Administration, TennCare, or the Department of
Commerce and Insurance is estimated to be not significant.
• The proposed legislation will not result in a significant change in the number of
prosecutions for the offense of criminal abortion under Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-15-213(b).
• Any impact to the court system as a result of the proposed legislation is estimated to be not
significant.
