Summary

The bill adds a new section to Tennessee’s background‑check laws that bars consumer reporting agencies from providing arrest or charge information that has not resulted in a conviction, except for a list of serious offenses. It still allows employers, landlords and licensing boards to ask about job‑related conduct and to require background checks required by federal law. The goal is to protect people whose cases are pending or dismissed from losing jobs, housing or licenses.
