AI Summary

This bill establishes a new system for sharing emergency service call information related to rental properties in Tennessee. Under the proposed law, law enforcement agencies would be required to automatically notify a "qualified nonprofit organization" (defined as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization) about emergency assistance service calls at registered rental homes and apartment complexes. These nonprofits can then distribute the call information to property owners and managers, with the goal of helping them detect and respond to potential crime patterns. Property owners and managers would have the option to voluntarily register with these nonprofits to receive such notifications. The bill creates a new part within Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 38, which governs criminal procedure, and would take effect immediately upon becoming law. The primary purpose appears to be providing rental property managers with timely information about emergency incidents at their properties to help them proactively address potential safety and security concerns.
