Tennessee lawmakers are considering a proposed bill that would require some domestic violence offenders to wear GPS monitoring devices so survivors can tell if they are nearby.

State Bill 1972 recently passed the Senate Finance, Ways and Means Committee.

If the bill makes it to the governor’s desk and is signed, it specifies courts can require offenders to avoid contact with survivors and require them to wear GPS tracking devices before allowing their release on bond.

The bill would apply to people arrested for stalking, aggravated stalking, or especially aggravated stalking, as well as any kind of offense specifically against another person, such as assault, kidnapping, or rape.

Survivors could pay for an app that notifies them if offenders are near their location.
