TN SB2390

Local law enforcement agencies holding individuals under federal detention agreements must disclose basic information (full name, date of birth, intake date, facility location) within 24 hours of a request from the detained person, their attorney, immediate family, or a court

Detained persons under federal agreements must receive reasonable access to confidential legal counsel visits (in-person and remote), telephone communication for legal purposes, and family visits consistent with policies for other detainees in the same facility

Disclosure may only be temporarily withheld if there is a documented, specific determination that it would pose an imminent safety threat; such determinations must be in writing and subject to judicial review

Local agencies and officers are prohibited from retaliating against detained persons for requesting disclosure, seeking legal counsel or family access, or pursuing legal action related to their detention

Detained persons may seek declaratory or injunctive relief in court for violations, with prevailing plaintiffs eligible for attorneys' fees and costs; the bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law
