Tennessee Expands the Right to Try, Offering Desperate Patients New Hope
Tennesseans with rare diseases can now seek cutting-edge personalized treatments after the Volunteer State this week joined a growing movement of states in adopting the Goldwater Institute’s landmark Right to Try for Individualized Treatments.
Sponsored by Rep. Bryan Terry and Sen. Bo Watson and signed into law by Gov. Bill Lee, HB 192 and SB 282 expand Goldwater’s original Right to Try law to potentially lifesaving treatments that are designed specifically for individual patients. The Goldwater Institute was honored to work alongside the Beacon Center of Tennessee to advance this lifesaving legislation.
