Tennessee SB0290 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 6, to modify searches on school property. It mandates that searches be conducted by school resource officers acting as school officials. For students under 18, the principal must notify the student's parent or legal guardian and obtain their consent before conducting a physical search. The act also ensures that searches do not violate the Fourth Amendment or the Tennessee Constitution. This law takes effect immediately upon becoming a statute.
