Criminal Offenses - As introduced, creates the criminal offense of intentionally communicating a threat of harm to a public official or a member of the public official's immediate family; punishes a violation as a Class E felony. - Amends TCA Title 39.

SB 2127 would have created a new Class E felony offense for intentionally threatening a public official or their immediate family member (including spouses, parents, siblings, or children) due to the official’s role. The bill required that the threat be perceived as harmful by a reasonable person and made because of the official’s position. It defined "immediate family" broadly to include stepparents, stepchildren, and adoptive relationships. The bill was introduced in the Tennessee Senate in early 2026 but was withdrawn before passing.
