House Bill 1233, also known as Senate Bill 1396, proposes amendments to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 40, Chapter 11, which pertains to bail procedures. The bill updates the requirements for receipts related to bail transactions. Specifically, it replaces the requirement to "furnish a receipt" with the obligation to "furnish a written or digital receipt." Additionally, it modifies the requirement to "keep a duplicate copy of every receipt" to mandate the retention of a "duplicate written or digital copy of every receipt."

These changes aim to modernize the documentation process for bail transactions by allowing for digital options, thereby enhancing efficiency and accessibility. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, contingent upon the public welfare.
