Tennessee HB0827 requires employers to maintain health coverage for pregnant employees terminated from employment.

Tennessee HB0827 amends state insurance laws to mandate that employers keep paying their share of health insurance for pregnant employees terminated from employment. Effective July 1, 2025, employers must continue these payments until they receive a signed statement from the employee confirming the end of the pregnancy. Employers cannot request insurers to terminate coverage without this statement. The employee must notify the employer within 30 days of the pregnancy's end. If the employee fails to notify, the employer can seek reimbursement for continued coverage costs from the employee.
