Correction, Dept. of - As enacted, requires a county incurring expenses pursuant to a criminal prosecution to provide an invoice of the expenses imposed on the county to the department; requires, within 60 days of receiving an invoice, the department to pay the amount of the invoiced expenses permitted by law to the county. - Amends TCA Title 40 and Title 41.

HB 1986 requires the Tennessee Department of Correction to notify the police chief of the city (and the county law enforcement chief) whenever an inmate is granted a furlough. This directly affects the Department of Correction, which must send these notifications, and local police departments in the inmate's residence area. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 41-21-227(e), to add this notification requirement as a standard part of the furlough process. It does not change the conditions for granting furloughs, only the communication protocol with local law enforcement.
