AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 40-35-501, which deals with criminal procedure, to expand the list of offenses that require offenders to serve 100 percent of their imposed sentence without any reductions from sentence reduction credits. Specifically, it adds attempts, conspiracies, and solicitations to commit certain serious offenses to this list, meaning that if someone is convicted of planning, agreeing to commit, or encouraging another person to commit these specified crimes, they will also have to serve their full sentence. This change is intended to ensure that individuals involved in the planning or encouragement of these crimes face the same sentencing consequences as those who directly commit them, and it applies to offenses committed on or after July 1, 2026.
