Bill > SB0074

This bill extends the sunset date for the Interstate Corrections Compact (ICC), a legal agreement between states that allows for the transfer and management of prisoners across state lines, from its current expiration to June 30, 2033. Specifically, the bill amends Tennessee law by deleting an existing reference to the Compact in Section 4-29-246(a) and adding a new section (4-29-254) that explicitly states the Interstate Corrections Compact will terminate on June 30, 2033. The bill also includes a provision that any governmental entities created during calendar year 2031 will similarly terminate on the same date, with the option that terminated entities may be continued, reestablished, or restructured according to state law. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the state legislature's determination that the public welfare requires the continuation of this interstate corrections agreement.
