Senate Bill 1523, also known as House Bill 1581, proposes amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning the inmate disciplinary oversight board. Specifically, it deletes subdivision (28) from Section 4-29-247(a) and adds a new subdivision to Section 4-29-249(a) that establishes the inmate disciplinary oversight board as created by Section 41-21-1002.

The bill aims to streamline the legal framework surrounding the oversight of inmate disciplinary actions by formally recognizing the oversight board within the relevant statutes. The changes are intended to enhance the governance and accountability of inmate discipline processes in Tennessee's correctional facilities. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
