Back to EpisodesTennessee Lawmakers Pass Threat Bill, Balancing Safety and Fairness
Description
Tennessee lawmakers unanimously pass a bill to reform school threat handling, sending it to Governor Bill Lees desk. The new measure allows school administrators and resource officers to assess threat credibility before involving prosecutors, while ensuring every report undergoes a full investigation.
