Bail, Bail Bonds - As enacted, requires any conditions of release imposed on certain felony defendants to include a requirement that the defendant submit to pretrial monitoring to ensure compliance with the conditions; requires the court to order bail to be forfeited and an arrest warrant issued if the defendant does not comply with conditions of release; limits, to criminal or circuit court judges, those who may release a defendant who has been arrested for failure to comply with the conditions of release. - Amends TCA Title 39 and Title 40.
This law requires courts to order certain felony defendants released on bail to participate in pretrial monitoring to ensure they follow release conditions. If a defendant fails to comply with these conditions, the court must declare the bail forfeited and issue an arrest warrant. Additionally, only criminal or circuit court judges are authorized to release individuals arrested for violating bail conditions. These changes take effect on July 1, 2024, and apply to cases handled under Tennessee's bail statutes.
