Juvenile Offenders - As introduced, decreases from six to four the number of hours a juvenile detention facility may delay a telephone call or in-person visit if a child is subject to disciplinary action. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 37 and Title 41.

SB 1401 reduces from six to four hours the maximum delay juvenile detention facilities may impose on phone calls or in-person visits for a child facing disciplinary action. The bill directly affects juveniles in Tennessee detention facilities during disciplinary proceedings. It amends Tennessee Code Annotated § 37-1-189(a) to require facilities to restore communication access within four hours, rather than six, after discipline is applied. This change aims to improve timely family contact for detained youth.
