SB 2056 creates a new criminal court (designated as "Part IX") in Tennessee's 30th judicial district, effective September 1, 2026. The governor will appoint a judge to serve until September 2028, after which voters in the district will elect a judge in the August 2028 general election for an eight-year term. This change directly affects residents of the 30th judicial district by expanding criminal court capacity and altering the election timeline for that specific court position. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 16, Chapter 2, to establish this new court structure and its appointment/election process.
