House Bill 1922, also known as Senate Bill 2030, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 40, Chapter 39, Part 2, concerning the regulations for sexual offenders and violent sexual offenders. The bill introduces a new requirement that mandates these offenders to notify the owner or operator of any campground where they intend to stay overnight about their status as a sexual offender or violent sexual offender before their stay. Failure to provide this notification will result in the offender committing an offense, which is punishable under existing subsections (f) and (g) of the law.

The new provision aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that campgrounds are aware of the presence of sexual offenders or violent sexual offenders. This legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, emphasizing the importance of compliance with the new notification requirement for offenders who wish to stay at campgrounds.
