NASHVILLE, Tenn.(WZTV)–A Tennessee lawmaker is proposing legislation which would make it a crime to leave false reviews on the web.

State Representative David Byrd (R-D71) filed HB1664 in the Tennessee General Assembly on Wednesday. The bill would create a Class B misdemeanor under the Tennessee Code which defines unfair or deceptive acts.

The bill states an offense would be “Posting a review on the internet about a business that is factually false with the intent to defraud the public.”

Class B misdemeanors in Tennessee can lead to up to 6 months in jail and fines of up to $500.
