Bill > SB1170

This bill makes several changes to Tennessee's criminal laws, primarily by removing the concept of "criminal responsibility for conduct of another" and "criminal responsibility for the facilitation of a felony" from the statutes, which essentially means that individuals will no longer be held criminally liable for the actions of others if they merely helped or were involved in a crime without directly committing the act itself. It also modifies the definition of first-degree murder by removing the provision that a killing committed during the perpetration or attempted perpetration of certain crimes automatically constitutes first-degree murder, thereby requiring a more direct link between the killing and the perpetrator's intent. These changes affect various sections of Tennessee Code Annotated related to criminal offenses and procedures.
