Bill > HB2757

This bill amends Tennessee law to change the notice period for a hearing on a petition for restoration of rights of citizenship from 20 days to 15 days. The change applies to the notice that must be given to the district attorney general of the county where the petitioner currently resides and the county where the petitioner was convicted, so that they may resist the petition if deemed advisable. The bill makes this change across various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated, including Titles 2, 39, and 40, which cover elections, criminal offenses, and criminal procedure, respectively.
