Senate Bill 1993 amends Tennessee law regarding the eviction process by introducing new regulations on the publication of videos related to eviction proceedings. It defines a "participant in an eviction process" as any private entity or person involved in serving civil process for evictions, excluding law enforcement officers acting in their official capacity. The bill prohibits these participants from broadcasting or transmitting any video of the eviction service in real-time or near real-time without the express written consent of the individual being evicted, unless authorized by a court order.

Additionally, the bill grants individuals who are victims of violations of this prohibition a private right of action against the violators. If successful in their claims, victims may be awarded a minimum of $25,000 in statutory damages for each intentional violation, along with actual damages, punitive damages, equitable relief, and reasonable attorney fees. This legislation aims to protect the privacy of individuals undergoing eviction processes and establishes significant penalties for violations.
