SB 2250 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Local Government, General - As introduced, deletes the provision that classifies a local government official's affirmative vote for adoption of a prohibited sanctuary policy as a Class E felony. - Amends TCA Title 7 and Title 8.

SB 2250 removes a criminal penalty for Tennessee local government officials who vote to adopt certain "prohibited sanctuary policies." Specifically, it deletes language classifying such a vote as a Class E felony under Tennessee law. This bill directly affects local officials (like mayors or council members) in Tennessee by eliminating potential criminal charges tied to their vote on sanctuary policy measures. The key change is simply the deletion of two specific legal provisions in Titles 7 and 8 of Tennessee Code.
