HB 2400 extends the time a local agency must hold property seized during a camping violation on public property from 90 to 120 days before it can be claimed or disposed of. This directly affects individuals whose belongings are confiscated after being cited for camping on public land. The bill requires agencies to keep seized items in a secure location during this extended period, unless the property is needed as evidence in a criminal case. The change amends Tennessee law across multiple code sections related to property handling procedures.
