AI Summary
This bill requires the Tennessee Department of Safety to submit an annual report by February 1st detailing the number of individuals who received enhanced criminal penalties under specific circumstances related to non-U.S. citizens. Specifically, the report must include the total number of cases statewide and per county where a court increased a defendant's statutory penalty due to two conditions: (1) the defendant was an undocumented immigrant convicted of a violent crime, or (2) the defendant was an undocumented immigrant and the conviction involved using or displaying a deadly weapon. The bill amends multiple sections of Tennessee Code Annotated, including Titles 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 55, with the new reporting requirement taking effect immediately upon becoming law. The purpose appears to be tracking enhanced sentencing for criminal offenses committed by non-U.S. citizens, potentially to provide more detailed information about immigration-related criminal justice outcomes to state leadership.
