Criminal Offenses - As introduced, reduces, from five to four business days, the amount of time a warden has to report an offense in a penal institution to the appropriate district attorney generals. - Amends TCA Title 39.

SB 1878 shortens the deadline for prison wardens in Tennessee to report criminal offenses occurring in penal institutions. It reduces the current requirement of five business days to four business days for submitting these reports to district attorneys. The bill directly affects prison officials who must make these reports and the prosecutors who receive them. This procedural change amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-16-202, to adjust the reporting timeline.
