House Bill 7037 amends Tennessee Code Annotated by adding a new requirement for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) regarding the entry of criminal case dispositions. Specifically, the bill mandates that by October 1, 2024, the TBI must enter each final disposition of criminal proceedings into the National Crime Information Center and any other relevant databases within thirty days of receiving the disposition from a clerk of court. This change aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of criminal history record checks.

The bill emphasizes the importance of timely updates to criminal records, which can impact various legal and administrative processes. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, underscoring its urgency in improving the management of criminal records in Tennessee.
