Criminal Offenses - As introduced, expands the offense of aggravated criminal trespass to include trespassing that results in the disruption of a religious assembly, which is a Class A misdemeanor. - Amends TCA Title 39.

HB 2065 amends Tennessee's aggravated criminal trespass law to include disrupting a religious assembly within a building on property as a new qualifying condition. This change makes such disruption a Class A misdemeanor, the highest misdemeanor offense in Tennessee, directly affecting individuals who enter or remain on property without permission and interfere with religious services. The bill adds this specific provision to the existing criteria for aggravated trespass, which already covers causing fear, damaging barriers, or recklessly damaging property. It does not alter penalties for other trespass offenses but expands the definition to explicitly protect religious gatherings.
