SB 1117 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Courts - As introduced, requires the clerk of each court to compile a monthly report of all criminal fines and fees assessed by the court in the previous month and submit the report to the administrative office of the courts; requires the administrative office of the courts to create and maintain a statewide database and searchable public website that compiles the reports received by the office from the court clerks. - Amends TCA Title 16 and Title 18.

SB 1117, which was withdrawn on February 20, 2025, would have required Tennessee court clerks to compile and submit monthly reports of all criminal fines and fees assessed by their courts. The reports would have included specific details like case numbers, amounts, payment status, and defendant demographics. The Administrative Office of the Courts would have been mandated to create a public database and searchable website compiling these reports, plus provide annual summaries to state leaders. This bill aimed to increase transparency around criminal justice financial obligations but did not advance beyond committee referral.
