Senate Bill 2380, also known as House Bill 2232, amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to establish a process for individuals to petition the court to seal their criminal history records under specific conditions. The bill introduces a new part to Title 40, Chapter 32, allowing eligible individuals to file a petition after paying a fee of $500. To qualify for sealing, individuals must have completed their sentence, including all fines and conditions, must not have any pending criminal charges, and must not have been convicted of any offenses for at least five years. Certain offenses, such as domestic assault and driving under the influence, are explicitly excluded from being sealed.

Additionally, the bill outlines that once records are sealed, they can still be accessed by specific entities, including the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Health, for particular purposes. If an individual with sealed records is charged with a new offense, the court may rescind the sealing order pending the outcome of the new charge. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
