Senate Bill 261, also known as House Bill 447, amends Tennessee Code Annotated to enhance corrections oversight by requiring the Department of Corrections to prepare a report on inmates who earn sentence reduction credits. This report must be created in consultation with the inmate disciplinary oversight board and submitted to both the Senate Judiciary Committee and the relevant House committee that oversees criminal sentencing matters.

The bill aims to improve transparency and accountability within the corrections system by ensuring that legislative committees are informed about the use of sentence reduction credits. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of its implementation for public welfare.
