Evidence - As introduced, permits the introduction into evidence of a video recording of a child victim being interviewed by a forensic interviewer regarding sexual or physically violent contact with the child if the forensic interviewer is an employee of the department of children's services and meets certain requirements. - Amends TCA Title 9, Chapter 4, Part 2 and Title 24, Chapter 7, Part 1.

HB 1636 allows video recordings of child victims interviewed by forensic interviewers to be used as evidence in court. The bill specifically permits this when the interviewer is a Department of Children's Services (DCS) employee who meets certain qualifications and conducts interviews under a qualifying child advocacy center. It amends Tennessee evidence law to establish these requirements for admissibility. The provision expires on July 1, 2031, and applies only to cases involving sexual or physical violence against children. This directly affects court proceedings involving child victims and the evidence standards for DCS-employed interviewers.
