Bill > SB2376

This bill, amending Tennessee Code Annotated Title 39, Chapter 15, extends the timeframe from ten to twenty days within which a court must schedule a hearing on a petition to freeze the funds of a criminal defendant. This applies specifically when the defendant is charged with financial exploitation of an elderly or vulnerable adult, involving the theft of more than $5,000 in property, and the purpose of freezing the funds is to ensure restitution to the victim while the criminal proceedings are ongoing.
