HB 1328 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Criminal Procedure - As enacted, establishes a permanent criminal proceedings notification system, rather than a pilot project; removes the July 1, 2025, termination date for the criminal proceedings notification system. - Amends TCA Section 40-38-507.

HB 1328 makes Tennessee's criminal proceedings notification system permanent by removing the temporary "pilot program" language and eliminating its July 1, 2025, expiration date from state law. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 40-38-507 to establish this system as a permanent requirement for criminal court notifications. This change affects how courts deliver notifications to defendants and others involved in criminal cases, ensuring the system continues without needing future legislative renewal. The law took effect immediately upon the Governor's signature on May 2, 2025.
