Senate Bill 320, also known as House Bill 480, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated regarding the submission of reports to the court. Specifically, it modifies Section 40-14-202(d) by deleting the phrase "directly to the court." and replacing it with "directly to the court. The report may be submitted electronically." This change allows for the option of electronic submission of reports, streamlining the process for court documentation.
The bill emphasizes the importance of modernizing the criminal justice system by incorporating electronic methods for report submission, which could enhance efficiency and accessibility. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the urgency of improving the current legal framework.
