Bill > SB1046

This bill proposes to modify Tennessee state law by establishing that individuals who are unauthorized aliens, defined as persons unlawfully present in the United States according to the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, are prohibited from initiating or participating as plaintiffs in any civil legal proceedings within the state. The term "unauthorized alien" is specifically defined to align with federal immigration statutes and regulations, and the bill ensures that regardless of any existing contradictory laws, these individuals cannot file lawsuits or appear as plaintiffs in Tennessee courts. The legislation would take immediate effect upon becoming law, with the state legislature citing the public welfare as the justification for its implementation. By restricting legal standing for unauthorized aliens, the bill aims to limit their ability to use the state's civil court system, potentially creating significant barriers for this population to seek legal remedies or pursue civil claims in Tennessee.
