Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 13; Title 16; Title 29; Title 39; Title 67 and Title 68.

Tennessee SB1135 amends existing nuisance laws to establish specific criteria under which a property can be deemed a nuisance per se, based on multiple unrelated incidents resulting in sexually related, drug-related, assaultive, firearm-related, or property-related/juvenile-related charges within designated timeframes. The bill allows authorized individuals to petition for abatement and introduces statutory damages for property owners affected by the nuisance. Key changes include the shift from requiring an arrest to the issuance of a warrant or citation for a charge to be recognized under the law.
