Senate Bill 1090 amends Tennessee law to allow uniformed law enforcement personnel to wear military decorations or medals from the armed forces, the Tennessee National Guard, or the state guard during specific times: the week prior to Veterans Day and Memorial Day, as well as on the days of these holidays and the day following them. This provision aims to honor and recognize the service of military members within the law enforcement community.

However, the bill also includes a stipulation that allows employers of uniformed law enforcement personnel to prohibit the wearing of these military decorations if they determine that it poses a safety hazard to either the personnel or the public. This balance seeks to respect the significance of military honors while ensuring the safety and operational integrity of law enforcement activities. The act will take effect upon becoming law.
