Legislation
Genetic legislation may be clearly expressed in public health statutes. It may also be embedded in other regulations, administrative rules, or other less obvious statutes, e.g. labor law. Identifying and interpreting state genetics legislation is not necessarily straightforward.
Resources for genetic legislation include:
- State genetic contacts
- Tennessee General Assembly Online
-
National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Genetics Laws and Legislative Activity.
