HB 1245 changes Tennessee law to reduce the waiting time for juvenile detainees facing disciplinary action. Specifically, it shortens the maximum delay for a telephone call or in-person visit from six to four hours after a disciplinary measure is imposed. This applies directly to youth held in state juvenile detention facilities under Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 37-1-189. The bill modifies the existing requirement without altering other facility procedures or policies.
