Domestic Violence - As enacted, makes various changes to the present law pertaining to the persistent domestic violence offender registry. - Amends TCA Title 18; Section 38-6-103; Title 39 and Title 40.
SB 1726 amends Tennessee law to extend the deadline for court clerks to forward certified copies of domestic violence convictions to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) from seven calendar days to seven business days. This change, specified in Section 40-39-402(d)(2) of the Tennessee Code Annotated, excludes weekends and holidays from the timeline. It directly affects court clerks who process these documents and the TBI, which uses the information for tracking domestic violence cases. The amendment provides a more practical deadline for clerks while maintaining timely reporting requirements.
