SB0906 amends Tennessee criminal justice laws to enhance protections and support for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking.

SB0906 amends Tennessee criminal justice laws to improve the handling of sexual assault cases and support for victims. It requires law enforcement personnel to complete sensitivity training on trauma-informed, victim-centered approaches. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) must test all previously untested sexual assault evidence collection kits by January 1, 2026, and each kit within 90 days of receipt thereafter. Victims can prove their claims using various forms of reporting, and they are not to be subjected to invasive questioning.
