Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Interstate Compact on Detainers to June 30, 2033. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 40, Chapter 31.
HB 251 extends Tennessee's participation in the Interstate Compact on Detainers until June 30, 2033. This compact governs how states handle prisoner transfers and detainers (legal holds) when defendants move between states, directly affecting Tennessee correctional facilities and law enforcement agencies managing interstate prisoner cases. The bill amends Tennessee law to set this specific end date for the compact's current implementation period. It does not change the compact's operational rules but ensures its continuation through 2033. The legislation applies to state agencies responsible for coordinating prisoner transfers across state lines.
