Law Enforcement - As enacted, authorizes the import or export of human remains by law enforcement agencies for the purpose of human remains detection training if certain conditions are met. - Amends TCA Title 11; Title 38 and Title 68.
This Tennessee law allows state, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies to import or export human remains for training purposes, such as learning to detect buried bodies. To ensure safety and respect, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation must create specific rules alongside the Department of Health that cover how to store, use, and properly dispose of these remains. The new regulations will outline secure storage methods, guidelines for using the remains as training aids, and required disposal procedures once the training is complete.
