AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act of 1989, including expanding the definition of racketeering activity. It clarifies the intent of the RICO Act to target organized crime involving gang activity and human trafficking, rather than isolated incidents of felony conduct. The bill modifies the definition of "enterprise" to include formal or informal groups that have the commission of racketeering activities as one of their primary activities. It also revises the definition of "pattern of racketeering activity" and expands the list of offenses that qualify as "racketeering activity." The bill increases the penalties for RICO offenses, making them Class B felonies, or Class A felonies if the pattern of racketeering activity involved a homicide.
