Senate Bill 1759, sponsored by Briggs, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 41, concerning the management of inmates. The bill introduces a new requirement for the Department of Corrections to maintain a copy of each validated risk and needs assessment for every inmate under its supervision for the entire duration of their incarceration. This addition aims to enhance the tracking and management of inmate assessments, potentially improving rehabilitation efforts and resource allocation.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare in its implementation. By ensuring that these assessments are preserved throughout an inmate's time in custody, the legislation seeks to promote better-informed decisions regarding inmate care and management.
