Bill > HB2401

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 39 and Title 40, which relate to criminal law, by changing the deadline for county legislative bodies to submit a written report on the use of judicial commissioners. Specifically, the bill moves the submission deadline from April 1 to April 30. This report is intended to outline findings and provide an overall evaluation of how judicial commissioners, who are officials appointed to handle certain judicial duties outside of regular court hours or when a judge is unavailable, are being utilized within the county. The change is considered necessary for the public welfare and will take effect upon becoming law.
