Senate Bill 2039, also known as House Bill 2491, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 40, Chapter 3, by introducing a new section that addresses the enforcement of fees and assessments related to fraud and economic crimes. The bill stipulates that, upon the enactment of the cost authorized by Section 40-3-106, these fees and assessments will not be enforced within the respective county. Furthermore, any funds that have already been collected and are currently held by a district attorney general must be retained until the total amount collected under Section 40-3-106 equals or exceeds the funds designated for fraud and economic crimes prosecution, as outlined in Section 40-3-207.

Once the balance of the funds collected meets the specified threshold, the bill mandates that the funds deposited into the account established by Section 40-3-207 must be returned to the county government from which they were originally assessed and collected. This legislation is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
