Tennessee SB1146 mandates the study of psychotropic drug use in mass shooting decedents.

Tennessee SB1146 amends state law to require county medical examiners and regional forensic centers to consult with mental health professionals or primary care physicians when autopsies are conducted on decedents suspected of committing mass shootings. These professionals must provide information on the decedent's psychotropic drug use. The examiners must also test for drug presence, including psychotropic drugs, and disclose the results to the University of Tennessee's health science center and the department of health.
