Senate Bill 2337, also known as House Bill 1924, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-13-511, which pertains to indecent exposure. The bill modifies the penalties associated with violations of this law by deleting the existing subdivision (c)(3) and replacing it with new provisions. Under the new language, a violation of this subsection is classified as a Class E felony, and any sentence imposed must include a mandatory minimum of fourteen days of incarceration. This minimum sentence must be served consecutively to any other sentence the individual is currently serving. Additionally, if a person is convicted of multiple violations, each sentence must also be served consecutively.
The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2024, emphasizing the need for public welfare in its implementation. The changes aim to strengthen the legal consequences for indecent exposure offenses, ensuring that repeat offenders face more stringent penalties.
