House Bill 2163, also known as Senate Bill 2356, mandates the commissioner of health to conduct a study on recent legislative developments regarding assisted reproductive technology (ART) in neighboring states. The study aims to gather information on legislation related to patient access and safety concerning ART that has been enacted in the last five years. The commissioner is required to submit the findings and any legislative recommendations to key legislative officials by December 31, 2026, and may utilize electronic means for publication and transmission of the study results.

This act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of understanding ART legislation in neighboring states to potentially inform future legislative actions in Tennessee.
