SB 2229 Tennessee Senate · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Criminal Offenses - As enacted, requires a violation of the law regarding criminal offenses and penalties for drugs or a conspiracy to violate such law to be punished as second degree murder if the substance involved is fentanyl or carfentanyl, or any analogue or derivative thereof, either alone or in combination with any substance scheduled as a controlled substance by the Tennessee Drug Control Act of 1989, including controlled substance analogues, and the violation resulted in the death of another person. - Amends TCA Title 39 and Title 40.

This bill mandates that sheriff and municipal law enforcement departments in Tennessee post their annual audit reports on their official websites. The requirement applies to all such departments and ensures these financial records are publicly accessible online. By adding this provision to state law, the measure aims to increase transparency regarding how local law enforcement agencies manage their funds.
