HB 582 - SB 531
SUMMARY OF BILL: Requires the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) to classify
persons on the sexual offender registry based on whether the person is a sexual offender, violent
sexual offender, or a violent juvenile sexual offender, and whether the offender is an offender
against children. Requires the TBI to notify the offender of their classification.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NOT SIGNIFICANT
Assumptions:
• Pursuant to § 40-39-2, persons convicted of certain offenses are required to register as an
offender on the sexual offender registry maintained by the TBI.
• The proposed legislation requires the TBI to classify the offenders on the registry as either
a sexual offender, violent sexual offender, or violent juvenile sexual offender, and to
further note whether the offender is an offender against children.
• Based on information provided by the TBI, any increased workload or administrative
burden resulting from the proposed classification requirements can be absorbed within
existing resources, without a significant increase in state expenditures.
• Any fiscal impact to the TBI is therefore estimated to be not significant.
CERTIFICATION:
The information contained herein is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
