AI Summary
This bill requires the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR), a state agency that studies governmental issues, to conduct a comprehensive study examining two key areas related to juvenile justice: first, the current availability and potential need for local juvenile detention centers and facilities where juveniles can be housed and treated before their court hearings, and second, the current availability and potential need for housing and treatment facilities for juvenile offenders who have been officially found delinquent and placed in the custody of the department of children's services. TACIR is authorized to request information from relevant state and local government entities, which are required to comply with these requests, and the study must be conducted using existing resources. By January 31, 2026, TACIR must submit a detailed report to each member of the general assembly, including its findings, recommendations, and any proposed legislation, with the option to deliver the report electronically. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare.
