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

Tennessee SB0349 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 affects law enforcement personnel who take on additional roles in private security and the businesses that employ them. Key provisions include the specific exemption from licensing requirements, thereby streamlining the process for these officers to work in private security roles.
