AI Summary
This bill requires the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR), which is a state research and advisory body, to conduct a comprehensive study on juvenile detention and treatment facilities. Specifically, TACIR will investigate the current availability and potential need for two types of facilities: local juvenile detention centers for juveniles awaiting adjudicatory hearings, and housing and treatment facilities for juvenile offenders who have been formally adjudicated delinquent and committed to the Department of Children's Services. The commission may request information from relevant state and local government entities, who are required to comply with these requests. The study will be conducted using existing resources, and TACIR must submit a detailed report to all members of the General Assembly and the legislative librarian by January 31, 2026. The report will include findings, recommendations, and potentially proposed legislation related to juvenile detention and treatment facilities. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare.
