Criminal Offenses - As introduced, lessens, from 90 calendar days to 60 calendar days, the time within which a clerk of court must notify the health facilities commission of a conviction for certain offenses committed against elderly or vulnerable adults for inclusion on the registry of persons who have abused, neglected, misappropriated, or exploited the property of vulnerable individuals. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 15.
HB 488 shortens the deadline for clerks of court to notify the Health Facilities Commission about certain convictions. Specifically, it reduces the timeframe from 90 to 60 calendar days after a conviction for offenses against elderly or vulnerable adults. This change applies to cases where the conviction would require inclusion on the registry of individuals who have abused, neglected, or exploited vulnerable individuals. The bill directly affects clerks of court and the registry process, streamlining the reporting timeline without altering the offenses or registry requirements.
