AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law regarding the classification of sexual offenders by requiring the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) to classify individuals required to register as sexual offenders based on their specific type of offense. The TBI will determine whether an offender should be categorized as a sexual offender, violent sexual offender, violent juvenile sexual offender, or an offender against children. To make these classifications, the TBI is authorized to use various sources of information, including investigative reports, files from prosecutorial entities like U.S. attorneys or district attorneys, court records, and other credible sources. The bill also mandates that the TBI notify the offender of their specific classification. This legislation aims to provide a more precise and comprehensive system for categorizing sexual offenders, which can help law enforcement and community safety efforts by ensuring more accurate registration and tracking of individuals with sexual offense convictions.
