AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee law to allow the Tennessee Rehabilitative Initiative in Correction, or TRICOR, to operate commissary programs within state prisons. TRICOR is a program designed to help offset the costs of incarceration by generating revenue, and this change expands its mission to include running these in-prison stores, in addition to selling other products, as a way to generate funds instead of relying solely on state appropriations. The TRICOR board is now explicitly authorized to manage these commissary operations, operating within the principles of free enterprise.
