Veterans - As introduced, enacts the “Tennessee Veteran Protection and Due Process Act.” - Amends TCA Title 7; Title 8; Title 38 and Title 58.

SB 1972 requires Tennessee law enforcement to verify veteran status before assisting federal immigration actions. It prohibits state cooperation unless federal authorities certify the person isn't a veteran or the VA has confirmed their status. Agencies must screen for military service records, delay transfers until verification, and provide veterans access to legal counsel. The law directly affects veterans facing immigration enforcement and state/local police handling such cases.
