AI Summary
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 adds individuals required by law to register as a "persistent domestic violence offender" to the list of people ineligible for this program, meaning they cannot use the program to shield their address. The bill also makes other unspecified changes to the program and clarifies that the registry of persistent domestic violence offenders, compiled in a specific chapter and part of Tennessee law, is relevant to the program's eligibility rules. Additionally, it removes the phrase "within this state" from a section related to the program, and it amends a definition within the program to include "sibling" as a protected relationship, alongside "parent."
