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 those holidays and the day following. This provision aims to honor and recognize the service of military personnel within the law enforcement community.

However, the bill also includes a provision 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 of law enforcement operations. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
