Tennessee SB1664 protects minors by restricting healthcare providers from asking certain gender-related questions without parental consent.
Tennessee SB1664 amends several sections of Tennessee Code to protect minors in healthcare settings. It prohibits healthcare providers from asking minors questions about gender identity, gender confusion, or gender dysphoria without parental knowledge or consent. The bill also restricts insurance companies and managed care organizations from requiring such questions as a condition for payment or participation. Violations by healthcare providers are considered unprofessional conduct, subject to disciplinary action by licensing boards.
