Senate Bill 7012 and House Bill 7037 propose an amendment to the Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically within Title 38, Chapter 6, Part 1. The bill mandates that by October 1, 2024, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) must enter each final disposition of criminal proceedings into the National Crime Information Center and any other relevant databases maintained by the bureau. This entry must occur within thirty days of the TBI receiving the disposition from a clerk of court.

The bill aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of criminal history record checks by ensuring timely updates to criminal records in national databases. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
