HB 1333 requires Tennessee's Department of Safety to submit an annual report by February 1st to the governor and legislative leaders. The report must track how many people received increased penalties in court for violent crimes or weapon offenses when they were noncitizens, showing totals statewide and by county. This bill mandates data collection on existing sentencing practices but does not change penalty laws. It affects how the state monitors sentencing outcomes for noncitizens under current statutes. The bill focuses on transparency, not policy changes.
