Victims' Rights - As enacted, adds persons required by law to register as a persistent domestic violence offender to the list of persons who are not eligible to participate in the address confidentiality program; makes various other changes to the address confidentiality program. - Amends TCA Title 40, Chapter 38, Part 6.
HB 1552 modifies Tennessee's address confidentiality program to exclude persistent domestic violence offenders from participating. The bill adds these individuals to the list of ineligible persons under the program's rules, specifically updating the eligibility criteria in the law. It also removes the phrase "within this state" from provisions allowing participants to change their address. These changes directly affect individuals required to register as persistent domestic violence offenders who might otherwise use the program to keep their addresses private. The bill makes no other substantive changes to the program's core structure.
