Bill overview
This bill amends Tennessee state law to remove a specific penalty related to local government officials’ support of ‘sanctuary policies.’ It alters sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated (Title 7 and Title 8) that previously classified a local official’s affirmative vote for adopting a sanctuary policy as a Class E felony. The changes effectively remove this specific criminal classification, allowing local officials more discretion in addressing sanctuary policy decisions. The bill was enacted to address concerns regarding local government authority and policy implementation.
