Bill > HB1552

This bill modifies Tennessee's address confidentiality program, which helps protect victims of domestic violence by providing them with a substitute mailing address. Specifically, it expands the definition of who can be considered a victim by including "sibling" in addition to "parent" when determining eligibility for the program. More significantly, the bill adds individuals required by law to register as a "persistent domestic violence offender" to the list of those ineligible to participate in the address confidentiality program, meaning these offenders cannot use the program to shield their location. The bill also makes other unspecified changes to the program and removes the phrase "within this state" from a related section, with the changes taking effect immediately upon becoming law due to public welfare concerns.
