The Tennessee General Assembly passed three constitutional amendments that will go on to be placed on the gubernatorial ballot in November 2026.
Voters will have the opportunity to have their say in the right to bail, victims’ rights, and a potential ban on statewide property tax.

Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson (R-Franklin-District 27) sponsored Senate Joint Resolution 0025 (SJR0025), which would allow a judge to decide whether a person is eligible for bail or not they are charged with any one of 73 violent crimes if “the proof is evident or the presumption is great.”
