HB 89 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Law Enforcement - As introduced, expands the notification and uniform requirements for peace officers who provide security or other duties outside of their primary jurisdiction to apply statewide rather than only in certain counties. - Amends TCA Title 62, Chapter 35.

HB 89 amends Tennessee law to require peace officers providing security outside their primary jurisdiction to follow uniform notification and uniform requirements statewide, rather than only in certain counties. This change directly affects peace officers working in temporary security roles across Tennessee, ensuring consistent standards regardless of location. The bill removes the existing county-specific limitation in the law (by deleting subsection (c) of TCA § 62-35-141), extending the requirement to all counties. The bill failed in committee on March 5, 2025, and did not advance further.
