HB 2545 shortens the deadline for wardens in Tennessee penal institutions to report criminal offenses to district attorney generals, reducing the timeframe from five to four business days. This bill directly affects prison wardens who must submit these reports and district attorney generals who receive them. The change modifies Tennessee Code Annotated § 39-16-202(a)(1) by amending the required reporting period. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on adjusting this administrative timeline without altering legal definitions or penalties.
