HB 911 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Consumer Protection - As enacted, revises one of the definitions of a "nonprofit organization" for purposes of the Tennessee Information Protection Act to mean a public utility organized or regulated, instead of only organized, under the laws of this state. - Amends TCA Title 47.

HB 911 amends Tennessee's consumer protection law to ban the sale of radar-jamming devices and require clearer disclosures when businesses advertise government services. It specifically prohibits advertising, selling, or promoting radar-jamming technology (used to interfere with speed enforcement) and mandates that businesses disclose if they offer free or low-cost government services (like document processing) that could be obtained directly from government. The bill also updates enforcement rules, allowing the Attorney General to pursue cases more efficiently and tying violations of these new provisions to the existing Tennessee Consumer Protection Act. These changes directly affect businesses selling radar jammers and those marketing government-related services.
