HB 454 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Correction, Dept. of - As introduced, adds the legislative librarian as a recipient of the report submitted by the commissioner of correction to the general assembly on the transactions of state correctional facilities during the two years preceding the report. - Amends TCA Title 3; Title 4; Title 8; Title 9; Title 27; Title 29; Title 38; Title 39; Title 40 and Title 41.

HB 454 amends Tennessee law to require the Commissioner of Correction to send the annual report on state correctional facility operations to the legislative librarian, in addition to the General Assembly. This change directly affects the legislative librarian, who will now receive copies of these reports alongside lawmakers. The bill modifies specific sections of Tennessee Code (Titles 3, 4, 8, 9, 27, 29, 38, 39, 40, and 41) to add the legislative librarian as a designated recipient. It is a procedural update to reporting requirements, not a substantive policy change to correctional operations.
