Senate Bill 1090, also known as House Bill 1164, amends Tennessee Code Annotated 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 military service and recognize the contributions of veterans.

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 doing so could pose 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.
