AI Summary
This bill, concerning domestic violence in Tennessee, primarily amends existing law to change the timeframe for court clerks to send a certified copy of a conviction for an offense against a domestic violence victim to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). Previously, this had to be done within seven calendar days of the conviction; now, it must be completed within seven business days, meaning it excludes weekends and holidays. This change affects how quickly the TBI is notified of such convictions, which is a key part of tracking and addressing domestic violence cases. The bill also specifies that it takes effect immediately upon becoming law due to public welfare concerns.
