SB 73 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Interstate Compact on Detainers to June 30, 2033. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 40, Chapter 31.

SB 73 extends Tennessee's participation in the Interstate Compact on Detainers - a system for transferring criminal defendants between states - until June 30, 2033. It removes a previous reference to the compact in state law (TCA § 4-29-246) and adds a new provision (TCA § 4-29-254) explicitly setting its termination date. This affects state criminal justice agencies responsible for managing detainer requests across state lines. The bill does not change how the compact operates but ensures its continuation through 2033, avoiding an automatic expiration. It is a routine legislative extension, not a new policy change.
