Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 16.

Tennessee SB1399 amends existing law regarding retaliation for past actions by expanding the definition of individuals involved in the judicial process to include additional roles, such as former judges and public defenders, and by including stepchildren in the definition of "family member." The bill establishes that a person commits a Class E felony if they harm or threaten to harm these individuals or their family members with the intent to impede or retaliate against them in connection with their judicial participation. Key changes include the revised definitions and the removal of certain exclusions related to employees of clerks.
