Bill > HB1922

This bill requires individuals classified as sexual offenders or violent sexual offenders to inform the owner or operator of any campground where they plan to stay overnight about their offender status before their stay begins. Failing to provide this notification and knowingly staying overnight at a campground would be a new criminal offense, punishable as a Class E felony, which is a lower-level felony offense in Tennessee. This amendment is intended to enhance public safety by ensuring campgrounds are aware of registered offenders staying on their property.
