Welcome to our nascent Legislative Summary page. Our intent is to curate a thorough collection of current and proposed legislative items from across the State of Tennessee that notably affect disenfranchised groups, including the unhoused, marginalized, and LGBTQ+ communities. Our aim is to evolve into a central, user-friendly repository for those seeking clarity on the legalities that shape their existence and rights.

While we are committed to ensuring the reliability and relevance of our material, legislative elements can shift, and legal interpretations may differ. We advise users to engage with a certified legal professional for specific legal guidance and to confirm the latest updates on any legislation mentioned here.

 

Our legislative outlines and critiques stem from our dedication to social justice and the 'See, Judge, Act' method, mirroring our perspective on how these statutes correspond with or oppose our ethos to safeguard dignity, advance justice, and cultivate an inclusive community for everyone. Listing any piece of legislation here does not inherently reflect an endorsement or rejection by DefendersOfDignity.org unless expressly indicated.
