ON APRIL 21, 2026, THE HOUSE ADOPTED AMENDMENT #1 AND PASSED HOUSE BILL 2369, AS AMENDED. AMENDMENT #1 rewrites the bill to, instead, revise present law that authorizes the attorney general to bring an action to enforce compliance with the Tennessee Abortion-Inducing Drug Risk Protocol Act or intervene as a matter of right in a case in which the constitutionality of such act is challenged. This amendment removes this provision and authorizes, instead, the attorney general to bring a civil action to (i) enforce compliance with the act; or (ii) impose a civil penalty, as provided below, for a kn owing violation of the present law prohibition on a manufacturer, supplier, pharmacy, physician, qualified physician, or other person from providing an abortion-inducing drug to a patient via courier, delivery, or mail service. Generally, this amendment authorizes the attorney general to impose a civil penalty $10,000 per such violation.

Each individual to whom an abortion-inducing drug is provided constitutes a separate violation.
