AI Summary

This bill enacts the "Parental Accountability Act" and amends Tennessee law to allow courts to order parents, legal custodians, or guardians to pay restitution if their child is found delinquent for a second or subsequent offense. The restitution amount can range from $250 to $1,000, depending on whether the offense would be a misdemeanor or felony if committed by an adult.
