SB 2084 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Commerce and Insurance, Dept. of - As introduced, deletes an obsolete requirement that the commissioner conduct a study of this state's insurance laws to determine what impediments, if any, exist that may be acting as deterrents for insurance companies in this state to underwrite policies of insurance to insure a person who has used force that is justified, including deadly force, in protecting such person's self or property, and to submit a report of the study to the general assembly no later than March 1, 2012. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.

SB 2084 removes an outdated requirement that the Tennessee Insurance Commissioner study whether insurance laws deter companies from covering self-defense incidents (including deadly force). It deletes Section 56-1-108 from state code, which previously mandated this study and a report to the legislature by March 1, 2012. The bill has no new policy effects - it only eliminates a redundant administrative task. This is a procedural change affecting only the commissioner’s duties, not insurance coverage rules.
