Knoxville, TN (WOKI) A new bill introduced in the Tennessee Senate would require sexual offenders to report to authorities their membership in a church or another religious organization.
Sen. Becky Duncan-Massey of Knoxville, is pushing for sex offenders to have to report to authorities if they’re registered members of a Tennessee religious organization. In turn, the bill (SB0451) would also require the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to provide all public information about an offender to any church, temple, or other religious group or organization in Tennessee where the offender is a member.
So far, Sen. Massey has sponsored nearly 30 bills in the 114th General Assembly.
