HB 2567 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Domestic Violence - As enacted, makes various changes to the present law pertaining to the persistent domestic violence offender registry. - Amends TCA Title 18; Section 38-6-103; Title 39 and Title 40.

HB 2567 changes the deadline for court clerks to forward certified copies of domestic violence conviction records to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) from seven calendar days to seven business days. This procedural adjustment affects court clerks, who must now account for weekends and holidays when meeting the deadline, and the TBI, which uses these records for its databases. The bill amends specific sections of Tennessee law (Title 18, Section 38-6-103; Title 39; and Title 40) to implement this timeline change. The policy update streamlines administrative processing without altering the substance of domestic violence reporting requirements.
