Criminal Offenses - As introduced, allows the warden or chief administrative officer's report to the district attorney general of certain offenses that occur within a penal institution to be submitted electronically. - Amends TCA Title 38; Title 39; Title 40; Title 55; Title 64 and Title 65.

HB 2342 allows prison wardens or chief administrative officers to submit reports about crimes occurring within penal institutions to district attorneys electronically, rather than requiring paper submissions. This technical amendment modifies Tennessee Code § 39-16-202(a)(1) to explicitly permit electronic transmission of these reports. The change directly affects correctional facility staff and district attorneys handling criminal reports from prisons. It streamlines reporting procedures without altering criminal penalties or creating new legal requirements.
