Senate Bill 1635, also known as House Bill 1942, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 55, Chapter 21, Part 3, in relation to the 2021 Precious Cargo Act. The bill specifically modifies Section 55-21-303(a)(2) by adding a definition for "medical condition" to include communication disorders. This encompasses various issues such as speech, language, and fluency disorders, including stuttering.

The new language aims to clarify the types of medical conditions that are recognized under this section of the law, thereby potentially expanding the protections and considerations for individuals with these disorders. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
