<p>We’re working to change the law to ensure that everyone has access to a 12-month supply of birth control! SB 589 / HB 169 is a bipartisan bill that would allow all Tennesseans with health insurance to access a 12-month supply of birth control at one time. This change is particularly important for people who live far away from pharmacies, have inconsistent insurance coverage, are disabled, or just want to have another longer term birth control option.
