There was an amended complaint filed last month – they filed a MTD to dismiss that one and our answer is due shortly for that.
Yes, trial date is still good.

Or did they deny it and allow the challenge to proceed?

I do recall that there’s a tentative trial date (11/2020).

Your question is off-topic for this post.
At the bottom of the complaint in the Tennessee lawsuit there should be attorneys listed (for the plaintiffs, obviously), you would need to contact them.
Our understanding is that there was a restraining order granted through disposition of the case, so you are the beneficiary of that restraining order if they are trying to remove you from your home.

How does one’s go about ,entering the lawsuit, in Tennessee..which thiseffects me also.

There are two recent topic posts on this situation in Tennessee on the FAC website:

https://floridaactioncommittee.org/lawsuit-challenges-tennessee-sex-offender-legislation/

https://floridaactioncommittee.org/tennessee-judge-grants-temporary-restraining-order/

You might get a better response by posting on those. Also, my research has yielded Tennessee has an advocacy group:

https://www.tn4change.org/

as per NARSOL’s website, where all state affiliates are listed:

Most sex offenders are untrackable. 95.8% of all reported sex offenses are committed by people with no criminal conviction and who are unregistered.

Not aware that it’s any higher among migrants than among natives, though.

Tennessee has been on my mind a lot, the last few days. There is a crisis there right now that dwarfs (at least temporarily) anything we’re fighting on Florida at the moment.

I did not realize that TN lacked an advocacy group. But that makes sense to me now— how else to explain how such a law passed both chambers with nobody noticing?

Thank G-d we have tireless FAC volunteers keeping tabs on the legislature, tracking bills that are introduced, and making calls to action when necessary.

I can’t thank you all at FAC for your tireless efforts and ongoing perseverance on behalf of those that have not had the privileged opportunity to meet you in person.
Praying daily for all FAC does.
Thank U!
Thank U!

This law also effectively tells registrants who don’t have children presently not to even think about it.

I can understand not allowing someone who molested their own kids back into the house under some circumstances. I will say this…if there is a GOOD, HONEST, COMPETENT sex offender treatment provider who respects the value of family and fostering healing in the victim and a reunification plan is agreed to by all parties under the guidance of said treatment provider and other counselors if victim is or has been in counselling to cope with and heal from the abuse, then even then a parent should be allowed to reunite with and live with their families. Having a family is such a basic human right.
