HB 1924 Tennessee House · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Sentencing - As enacted, increases the penalty for indecent exposure from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class E felony if the person was confined in a penal institution at the time of the commission of the offense and the offense was committed with the intent to abuse, torment, harass, or embarrass a guard or staff member; requires a mandatory minimum sentence of 14 days of incarceration; requires the mandatory minimum sentence to be served consecutive to any sentence being served at the time of the commission of the offense; requires a person convicted of more than one violation of this offense to serve each sentence consecutive to any other sentence imposed. - Amends TCA Title 39.

This bill increases the penalty for indecent exposure to a Class E felony when the offense occurs while the person is confined in a penal institution and is intended to abuse, torment, harass, or embarrass a guard or staff member. It mandates a minimum sentence of 14 days in jail that must be served consecutively to any other sentence the offender is currently serving. Additionally, if a person is convicted of multiple violations of this specific offense, each sentence must be served one after the other rather than at the same time.
