Bill > SB1314

This bill permanently establishes the criminal proceedings notification system in Tennessee by removing language that previously designated it as a pilot program. Specifically, the bill eliminates the "pilot program" classification from Section 40-38-507(a) of the Tennessee Code Annotated and removes subsection (d), which likely contained the original sunset or termination provision that would have ended the program on July 1, 2025. By making these changes, the legislature is signaling its commitment to maintaining the criminal proceedings notification system as a permanent resource, which presumably helps keep victims, law enforcement, and other stakeholders informed about criminal case developments. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the state's assessment that the ongoing operation of this notification system serves the public welfare.
