SB 234 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Law Enforcement - As introduced, expands the notification and uniform requirements for peace officers who provide security or other duties outside of their primary jurisdiction to apply statewide rather than only in certain counties. - Amends TCA Title 62, Chapter 35.

SB 234 amends Tennessee law to require peace officers providing security outside their primary jurisdiction to follow statewide notification and uniform standards, rather than only in certain counties. This change directly affects local peace officers, security personnel, and law enforcement agencies operating across county lines. The bill deletes subsection (c) of TCA 62-35-141, which previously limited these requirements to specific counties, thereby expanding them to apply uniformly throughout Tennessee. The key provision eliminates the county-specific restriction, making notification and uniform standards mandatory for all such officers statewide.
