AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 40-29-104 to modify the financial requirements for individuals seeking to restore their rights of citizenship. Specifically, the bill changes the existing law which previously required petitioners to pay the costs of their citizenship rights restoration application, by introducing language that allows courts to waive these application costs at their discretion. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law and will apply to court orders issued on or after its effective date. In practical terms, this means that individuals seeking to restore their citizenship rights will no longer be automatically required to pay application fees, giving judges the flexibility to determine whether the costs should be waived based on the specific circumstances of each case.
