Bill Summary
As introduced, adds to the list of certain offenses required to be served at 100 percent of the sentence imposed by the court undiminished by any sentence reduction credits, the attempt, conspiracy, or solicitation to commit those offenses. - Amends TCA Section 40-35-501.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to require that individuals convicted of attempting, conspiring, or soliciting certain serious offenses must serve 100 percent of their imposed sentence without any reductions for good behavior or other sentence credits. Previously, this "100 percent service" rule applied only to the completion of the underlying offenses themselves, not to the preparatory actions like planning, agreeing to commit, or encouraging others to commit those crimes. The bill specifically adds these preparatory offenses, such as conspiracy (agreeing with another to commit a crime), criminal attempt (trying to commit a crime), and solicitation (asking someone to commit a crime), to the list of offenses that mandate full sentence service, ensuring that those involved in planning or facilitating serious crimes face the full consequences of their actions.
