SB 1735 removes a requirement that businesses provide written assurances of compliance with Tennessee's Consumer Protection Act (1977) to Davidson County courts. This change directly affects businesses that previously needed to submit such written documents for court approval. The bill also adds new prohibitions, including banning the sale of radar-jamming devices and advertising illegal products, while clarifying the attorney general's authority in consumer lawsuits. Key provisions take effect July 1, 2026, with some changes applying retroactively to ongoing cases.
