SB 81 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the second look commission to June 30, 2029. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 37, Chapter 3.

SB 81 extends the deadline for Tennessee's Second Look Commission from its original expiration to June 30, 2029. The bill amends Tennessee Code Sections 4-29-246 and 4-29-250 to formally update the commission's authorization period. This extension directly affects the Second Look Commission, which reviews certain criminal sentences, allowing it to continue its work for an additional four years. The change is procedural, updating the legal timeline without altering the commission's existing responsibilities or processes.
