Senate Bill 372, sponsored by Rose, aims to address issues of discrimination against healthcare providers in Tennessee who choose not to participate in certain healthcare services due to their religious, moral, or ethical beliefs. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated by adding a new section to Title 4, Chapter 21, Part 2, which urges the human rights commission to conduct a study on this discrimination. The commission is also required to include its findings and recommendations in an annual report.

The bill emphasizes the importance of protecting the rights of conscience for healthcare providers and seeks to ensure that their decisions based on personal beliefs are respected. It is set to take effect upon becoming law, highlighting the urgency of the matter for public welfare.
