Senate Bill 1492, also known as House Bill 1924, mandates the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR) to conduct a comprehensive study of crime stoppers programs throughout the state. The study will evaluate various aspects, including data collection and reporting capabilities, funding stability, and the partnerships between crime stoppers organizations and law enforcement agencies. TACIR is tasked with assessing the strengths and weaknesses of these programs and will make recommendations aimed at enhancing their effectiveness.

In addition to the assessment, TACIR will propose methods to improve crime stoppers programs, focusing on increased coordination, public engagement, and collaboration between communities and law enforcement. The commission may seek input from relevant governmental entities to support its study, which will be conducted using existing resources. Upon completion, TACIR is required to report its findings and recommendations to the appropriate legislative committees by July 1, 2026.
