Senate Bill 2643, also known as House Bill 2595, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 36, Chapter 6, Part 5, to establish provisions for additional parenting time in cases where a parent has been denied visitation due to false allegations of abuse or neglect. The bill allows a court to order additional periods of parenting time to compensate for previous denials if the affected parent can demonstrate that the other parent intentionally made false allegations. The additional parenting time is intended to restore lost time and must not disrupt the child's school attendance or regular activities.

The bill outlines specific conditions for the additional parenting time, including that it must be of the same type and duration as the denied time, may include weekends or holidays, and must occur within two years from the denial date. It also clarifies that this section does not create a cause of action against the Department of Children's Services or waive sovereign immunity. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and will apply to visitation orders denied on or after that date.
