Bill > HB0252

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 state law by adding a new section that automatically terminates the Interstate Corrections Compact on June 30, 2033, while also providing a mechanism for the compact to be potentially continued, reestablished, or restructured after that date. The bill also indicates that any governmental entities created during calendar year 2031 will similarly terminate on June 30, 2033. The legislative change ensures the continued legal framework for interstate prisoner transfers for another decade, allowing Tennessee to maintain its cooperative arrangements with other states for managing corrections and prisoner movements. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the state legislature's determination that this extension serves the public welfare.
