Criminal Procedure - As introduced, requires the clerk of the court in which a person charged with a violent felony and for whom a biological specimen is taken for the purpose of DNA analysis to submit the clerk's notification to the TBI of the final disposition of the criminal proceeding against the person in writing. - Amends TCA Title 38, Chapter 6; Title 39 and Title 40.

SB 2182 requires court clerks to provide the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) with a written notification about the final outcome of criminal cases involving violent felonies when a DNA sample was collected. This applies specifically to cases where a person has been charged with a violent felony and a biological specimen (like a DNA swab) was taken for analysis. The bill amends existing law to change the notification method from unspecified formats to a mandatory written submission, ensuring the TBI receives consistent, documented updates. The TBI uses this information to maintain its DNA database for law enforcement purposes, such as matching DNA evidence to unsolved cases.
