A bill that critics say criminalizes homelessness will become law without the approval of Gov. Bill Lee, the Tennessee Journal reports. The measure, House Bill 978, makes camping on public property a misdemeanor punishable by a $50 fine or community service. It defines camping as erecting temporary structures, cooking, or sleeping outside of a motor vehicle. Lee earlier this week expressed concerned about “unintended consequences” contained within the bill, but didn’t elaborate.

About 111,000 Tennessee consumers will be eligible to receive payments of about $30 for each year during tax years 2016-2018 they used a paid TurboTax product when they qualified to file free through the IRS program. An investigation into Intuit was initiated following a ProPublica report that showed the company was using deceptive digital tactics to steer low-income consumers toward its commercial products and away from federally-supported free tax services.

Robby Starbuck, a former candidate for Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District, this week filed suit against the state Republican Party, claiming it illegally removed him from its primary ballot, the Tennessean reports. The party’s executive committee voted to remove Starbuck and fellow candidates Morgan Ortagus and Baxter Lee after finding the three did not meet Republican “bona fides.” Starbuck claims that vote was conducted secretly and against the party's own bylaws in a manner "inconsistent with federal and state law."

Publication of a leaked Supreme Court draft majority opinion suggests the court is ready to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. Written by Justice Samuel Alito the draft opinion was published Monday night by POLITICO, which called it an unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes in the document, labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.” The Supreme Court confirmed the authenticity of the draft, but noted it could change before it is finalized, the New York Times reports. In Tennessee, Nashville public radio station WPLN offered an outline of what might happen in the state if the draft ruling is adopted by the court.
