Criminal Procedure - As enacted, prohibits a defendant charged with certain offenses from being released on the defendant's personal recognizance or upon execution of an unsecured bond. - Amends TCA Title 40.

This bill changes the deadline for county legislative bodies to submit written reports on judicial commissioners from April 1 to April 15. The report must include findings and an overall evaluation of how these commissioners are performing in criminal courts. This adjustment applies to counties in Tennessee that use judicial commissioners and affects the timing of their annual performance reviews. The change is administrative and does not alter the role or responsibilities of the commissioners themselves.
