AI Summary

This bill, by amending Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 40, Chapter 3, eliminates specific fees and assessments previously collected for fraud and economic crimes prosecutions in counties that have implemented a $12.50 court cost to supplement funding for the district attorney general's office, which is the chief prosecutor in a judicial district.
