SB 1804 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

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.

SB 1804 requires Tennessee's Department of Correction to notify the police chief of an inmate's city of residence (if the city has a police chief) and the county's chief law enforcement officer whenever an inmate is granted a furlough. This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 40 and Title 41, to add this notification requirement without changing furlough eligibility or conditions. The law directly affects the Department of Correction (which must send notifications) and local law enforcement agencies (which receive them). The change applies to all furloughs and aims to improve communication between state corrections and local police.
