Tennessee HB1998 amends search regulations for students and visitors in schools, requiring specific training for personnel conducting searches.
Tennessee HB1998 modifies Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 6, to update search procedures in schools. It mandates that school administrators or employees designated by a principal must complete a training program before conducting searches using metal detectors or handheld devices. These searches are for containers, packages, or other enclosures not ordered by a principal, conducted before entry into school buildings or specific areas on school grounds. The bill also specifies who can conduct these searches and under what conditions a secondary search may be performed.
