Bill > SB0073

This bill extends the sunset date for the Interstate Compact on Detainers (ICD) to June 30, 2033. The Interstate Compact on Detainers is an agreement between states that provides a legal framework for handling criminal proceedings involving prisoners in different jurisdictions, particularly when a prisoner in one state is wanted for prosecution in another state. The bill specifically amends Tennessee Code by removing an existing provision related to the ICD and adding a new section that explicitly states the Compact will terminate on June 30, 2033, unless it is continued, reestablished, or restructured. Additionally, the bill includes a provision that any other governmental entities created during calendar year 2031 will also terminate on the same date. The legislation takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare. This type of sunset provision is common in legislative practice, requiring periodic review and renewal of governmental entities and agreements to ensure they remain relevant and effective.
