This bill allows Tennessee courts to impose the maximum penalty of life imprisonment without parole for specific crimes committed by individuals illegally present in the United States. The enhanced punishment applies when the crime is a violent offense, involves a deadly weapon, or occurs on school property while students or children are present. Additionally, the law requires that arrests and convictions under these specific circumstances be reported to a state council to track potential links to human trafficking. These changes directly affect how penalties are determined for certain offenders and establish a reporting mechanism for law enforcement and state officials.
