Senate Bill 2049 and House Bill 1953 propose amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning protective orders. The bill specifically targets two sections: it deletes subdivisions (f)(2) and (f)(3) from Section 39-13-113, and it also removes subdivision (a)(1)(B) from Section 39-17-1316. These changes aim to streamline the legal framework surrounding protective orders in the state.
The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, contingent upon the public welfare. By eliminating these specific subdivisions, the legislation seeks to clarify and potentially simplify the existing laws related to protective orders, although the exact implications of these deletions are not detailed in the bill text.
