Senate Bill 923 amends Tennessee Code Annotated to expand the definition of "full-time law enforcement officers" to include "jailers and correctional officers." This change is made in Section 8-50-107(d)(2)(A), where the existing language is deleted and replaced with the broader definition.

The bill emphasizes the importance of recognizing the roles of jailers and correctional officers within the law enforcement community, thereby ensuring that residency requirements apply to a wider range of personnel involved in law enforcement. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting its urgency in addressing residency requirements for these additional roles.
