House Bill 120 amends Tennessee Code Annotated by adding a new section to Title 39, Chapter 16, Part 5, which establishes specific offenses related to the obstruction of members of the Division of Protective Services. The bill defines key terms, including "Division of Protective Services" and "Person protected by the division," and outlines two primary offenses: intentionally impeding or obstructing a member of the division in their duties and refusing to vacate an area restricted for the safety of a protected person.

The bill stipulates that a violation of the first offense is generally classified as a Class A misdemeanor, but escalates to a Class E felony if the offender poses a threat to the protected person's safety. The second offense is classified as a Class E felony. This legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the safety and security of individuals under the protection of the division.
