Amends TCA Title 38; Title 39 and Title 62, Chapter 35.

Tennessee HB0378 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to exempt commissioned reserve deputy sheriffs and commissioned reserve or auxiliary police officers from private protective services licensing and regulation requirements when they are compensated for services as guards, patrols, or watchpersons under a contract with a properly licensed private business. This bill specifically affects law enforcement personnel who take on additional roles in the private sector. Key provisions include the stipulation that the exemption applies only when the private business is appropriately licensed by the state.
