Senate Bill 2644, also known as the "Crush Transnational Repression in Tennessee Act," aims to address the threats posed by foreign governments and terrorist organizations against the citizens and residents of Tennessee. The bill introduces new definitions related to transnational repression, including terms such as "agent of a foreign adversary," "foreign law," and "protected conduct." It establishes that any criminal offense committed by an agent of a foreign adversary or terrorist organization, with the intent to coerce or retaliate against individuals for engaging in protected conduct, will be punished at a higher classification than typically prescribed by law. Additionally, any court ruling or contract based on foreign law that infringes upon rights guaranteed by the Tennessee or U.S. constitutions will be deemed void and unenforceable.

The bill also mandates the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to develop a training program for law enforcement agencies to recognize and respond to transnational repression, as well as to implement a public awareness campaign to educate the public on identifying and reporting such instances. Furthermore, it requires state agencies to incorporate information on transnational repression into their policies and procedures, allowing for direct complaints to be made. The act emphasizes the importance of protecting individuals from foreign influence and harassment while ensuring that the rights of Tennessee residents are upheld.
