Senate Bill 1565 amends Tennessee law to establish a program funded by federal Title V maternal and child health services block grant funds. The bill authorizes the commissioner of health to use these funds to assist women whose pregnancies have ended in stillbirth. The program aims to provide financial support for burial or other disposition costs of stillborn children's remains and to offer educational scholarships to women who have experienced such pregnancies.

Additionally, the commissioner is empowered to seek any necessary authorizations, waivers, or permissions to implement this program effectively. The bill emphasizes the importance of supporting women during a difficult time and aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with stillbirth. The act will take effect upon becoming law.
