Wider enforcement of domestic no-contact orders

Beginning July 1, 2026, it is a crime to knowingly break a court no-contact order that protects a domestic abuse victim. This covers orders set before release on bond after an arrest. It also covers orders in a sentence or as a condition of probation or parole after a conviction. The rule now applies after arrest or conviction, not just after arrest. The protected person must be a domestic abuse victim under Tennessee law.
