Senate Bill 1804, sponsored by Jackson, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 41-21-227(e), regarding the notification process when an inmate is granted a furlough. The bill deletes the existing language in subsection (e) and replaces it with a requirement that the department must notify both the chief law enforcement officer of the county and the police chief of the city where the inmate resides whenever a furlough is granted.

This change aims to enhance communication and ensure that local law enforcement is informed about furloughed inmates, thereby promoting public safety and awareness. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the public welfare in this matter.
