House Bill 1328, also known as Senate Bill 1314, seeks to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 40-38-507, which pertains to the criminal proceedings notification system. The bill removes the phrase "as a pilot program" from subsection (a), indicating a shift from a temporary or trial-based approach to a more permanent implementation of the notification system. Additionally, the bill deletes subsection (d) entirely, which may streamline the existing legal framework surrounding the notification process.
The proposed changes aim to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the criminal proceedings notification system in Tennessee. By eliminating the pilot program designation and removing an entire subsection, the bill seeks to solidify the system's role in the state's criminal justice process, ensuring that notifications are consistently provided without the limitations of a pilot program. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of its implementation for public welfare.
