SB 2429 changes a deadline for counties to submit reports about judicial commissioners. It amends Tennessee law to require county legislative bodies to submit written evaluations of judicial commissioner use to criminal court judges and relevant committees by April 30 instead of April 1. This procedural change directly affects county governments and criminal court officials who must now meet the new April 30 deadline. The bill makes no substantive changes to criminal procedure, only adjusting the reporting timeline.
