Senate Bill 1825, also known as House Bill 2036, proposes amendments to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, regarding eligibility criteria for candidates in primary elections for federal office. The bill stipulates that individuals who hold dual citizenship or are not natural-born citizens of the United States shall not qualify as candidates. It defines "dual citizenship" as a legal status where a person is recognized as a citizen of both the United States and another country, and "natural-born citizen" as someone who is a U.S. citizen at birth, either by being born in the U.S. or born abroad to U.S. citizen parents.

The new section added to the law aims to clarify the qualifications necessary for individuals seeking to run for federal office in Tennessee, emphasizing the importance of citizenship status. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the urgency of the public welfare in implementing these changes.
