HB 1106 changes Tennessee's criminal penalties for exposing someone to HIV. It reduces the standard offense (exposure without transmission) from a Class C felony to a Class B misdemeanor, while creating a new Class C felony for cases where HIV transmission actually occurred. This directly affects individuals convicted of HIV exposure under current law. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 39 and would take effect July 1, 2025.
