Bill > SB1735

This bill amends Tennessee law related to consumer protection by removing the requirement for written assurances of voluntary compliance with the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act of 1977 to be filed with and approved by a Davidson County court, and instead makes other changes to consumer protection laws. Specifically, it clarifies that selling devices that interfere with radar speed detection is an unlawful practice, and it allows the Attorney General to facilitate discovery from political subdivisions or agencies in certain legal actions. The bill also refines language regarding claims about published content, allows individuals to sue for and recover damages, and designates violations of a specific section as violations of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act, subject to its penalties. Additionally, it prohibits the sale of goods or services that are illegal to sell in the state and removes certain data generated from recordings from specific definitions, with some provisions taking effect on July 1, 2026, and others upon becoming law and applying retroactively.
