HB 626 – SB 833
SUMMARY OF BILL: Requires a law enforcement officer who becomes aware that an
order of protection has been entered against a person in the officer’s presence, but the person has
not been served with the order of protection, to take appropriate steps to facilitate service of the
order, including notifying the sheriff’s department of the person’s immediate location and any other
information that may assist in the service of the order. Requires the curriculum of the Tennessee
Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission (POST) to include instruction on these
requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NOT SIGNIFICANT
Assumptions:
• It is assumed that law enforcement officers can assist in the service of orders of protection
in such circumstances in the normal course of business within existing resources.
• The POST commission is housed within the Department of Commerce and Insurance
(DCI). Based on information previously received from the DCI, any fiscal impact to the
department or the commission to incorporate the training is estimated to be not significant.
• Any fiscal impact to state or local government is estimated to be not significant.
CERTIFICATION:
The information contained herein is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
