House Bill 1482, also known as Senate Bill 1699, aims to amend various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to address civil immigration enforcement activities. The bill establishes new regulations that prohibit the use of certain public properties as staging areas for immigration enforcement. Specifically, it prohibits the use of public parking lots, school campuses, and properties owned by religious institutions for these purposes. The bill also mandates collaboration between state and local government entities to identify such properties and outlines procedures for reporting any unauthorized use of these locations for immigration enforcement.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining community trust and safety by preventing the militarization of state resources in immigration enforcement. It allows property operators to implement physical barriers and reporting procedures to safeguard against unauthorized immigration activities. Importantly, the bill clarifies that it does not interfere with lawful judicial warrants or criminal law enforcement, nor does it restrict the use of state-owned properties for non-immigration enforcement purposes. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
