AI Summary
This bill modifies Tennessee's address confidentiality program, which helps protect victims of domestic violence by allowing them to use a substitute address for official purposes. Specifically, it expands the list of individuals who are ineligible to participate in this program to include those required by law to register as persistent domestic violence offenders, meaning individuals convicted of certain serious domestic violence offenses. The bill also makes other adjustments to the program, such as clarifying that the program's protections extend to a victim's parent, sibling, or child, and removing a previous restriction that limited the program's application to addresses within Tennessee.
