Senate Bill 963, also known as House Bill 1177, proposes amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning individuals found incompetent to stand trial. The bill specifically targets two sections: it deletes subsection (d) from Section 33-7-301 and removes subdivision (2) from Section 52-6-102(e). These deletions indicate a significant change in the legal framework surrounding the treatment and evaluation of persons deemed incompetent to stand trial.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the changes for public welfare. By removing these specific legal provisions, the bill aims to streamline the process and potentially alter the legal landscape for handling cases involving individuals with competency issues.
