Criminal Offenses - As enacted, enacts the "Crush Transnational Repression in Tennessee Act." - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 38 and Title 39.

HB 2279, the "Crush Transnational Repression in Tennessee Act," targets foreign governments or groups attempting to control Tennesseans through coercion or foreign law. It criminalizes agents of "foreign adversaries" (like designated hostile nations) who try to force Tennesseans to act against their will, leave the U.S., or stop protected activities like free speech or religious practice - increasing penalties for such offenses. The bill also voids Tennessee court rulings or contracts based on foreign law (including examples like Sharia Law) if they violate U.S. or Tennessee constitutional rights. Additionally, it requires the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to create a law enforcement training program on transnational repression by July 2027.
