39; Title 40; Title 49; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE:
SECTION 1. Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 63-1-169(b), is amended by deleting
the language "for gender dysphoric or gender incongruent prepubertal minors" and substituting
instead the language "to enable a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity
inconsistent with the minor's sex or treat purported discomfort or distress from a discordance
between a minor's sex and asserted identity".
SECTION 2. If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance
is held invalid, then the invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of this act that
can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to that end, the provisions of
this act are severable.
SECTION 3. This act takes effect July 1, 2023, the public welfare requiring it.
