AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee state law to require the Tennessee Supreme Court's annual expenses to include funding for a dedicated security detail for the Chief Justice. Specifically, the bill mandates that the court's budget must allocate sufficient funds to provide security personnel who will transport and accompany the Chief Justice during all official state business. This change means that the Chief Justice will have dedicated security personnel to ensure their safety while conducting state-related duties, which becomes effective on July 1, 2025. The bill modifies Section 16-3-103 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, adding this security provision to the existing statute governing the Supreme Court's expenses. By explicitly including security detail costs in the court's budget, the legislation aims to ensure the Chief Justice's protection during official state activities.
