Bill > SB1225

This bill makes several changes to Tennessee law related to human trafficking, primarily by creating a presumption that a victim of human trafficking who uses force likely to cause death or serious bodily injury against their trafficker acted in reasonable belief of imminent death or serious bodily injury to themselves, provided they can prove their victim status by clear and convincing evidence, such as through testimony. The bill also clarifies that "human trafficking offense" encompasses various specific crimes like involuntary servitude, trafficking for forced labor or services, trafficking for commercial sex acts, and certain offenses related to promoting prostitution involving minors or individuals with intellectual disabilities. Additionally, the bill slightly modifies the definition of obstructing a highway to include other passageways.
