Senate Bill 1233 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated related to criminal justice. Specifically, it modifies Section 39-16-202(a)(1) by replacing the phrase "report the offense to" with "report the offense in writing to." This change emphasizes the requirement for a written report when an offense is reported, thereby potentially enhancing the documentation and accountability in the reporting process.
The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the urgency of the public welfare in implementing these changes. Overall, the amendment aims to clarify the reporting procedure within the criminal justice framework in Tennessee.
