SB2506 amends Tennessee housing laws to restrict discrimination based on criminal history. It prohibits housing providers from refusing to rent, lease, or sell dwellings to individuals solely because of their criminal history. Housing providers must conduct an individualized assessment if they intend to deny housing based on criminal history. The assessment must consider factors such as the nature and severity of the offense, the time elapsed since the offense, and evidence of rehabilitation.
