AI Summary
This bill makes a small but specific amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated Section 40-35-111(f) by changing the annual reporting deadline for the fiscal review committee from January 15 to February 15. The bill requires the fiscal review committee to report to the chief clerks of the Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives every five years about changes in the average consumer price index (CPI), which is a measure of the average change in prices paid by urban consumers for goods and services. The committee must also inform the legislature about how statutory minimum and maximum authorized fines for various offense classifications would be adjusted to reflect compounded cost-of-living increases over the five-year period. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, and is designed to provide a slightly longer window for the committee to complete its mandated annual review and reporting process.
