Tennessee Enacts Law to Stop Health Coverage for China-Linked Organ Transplants

Tennessee has enacted legislation—effective Jan. 1, 2026—to stop health insurance coverage for human organ transplant surgeries linked to China, becoming the fourth state to act against the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) killing-for-organs scheme.
The Tennessee Genomic Security and End Organ Harvesting Act, unanimously passed earlier by both chambers of the state legislature, addresses the concerns with Beijing’s potential access to Americans’ genomic data collection as well as complicity with the regime’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting.
Gov. Bill Lee signed the bill on March 28.
From Jan. 1, 2026, health insurers in Tennessee will no longer be able to knowingly fund organ transplant surgery and post-transplant care if the operation takes place in China or the organ comes from China via sale or donation. Violators will face $100,000 in fines for each offense….
