Senate Bill 2030 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 40, Chapter 39, Part 2, to introduce new requirements for sexual offenders and violent sexual offenders regarding their stay at campgrounds. The bill mandates that these offenders must notify the owner or operator of any campground of their status before staying overnight. 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 legal language added to Section 40-39-211 includes a specific requirement for notification, emphasizing the importance of transparency regarding the presence of sexual offenders in public spaces like campgrounds. This act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, ensuring that the public welfare is prioritized in the enforcement of these regulations.
