AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4; Title 10; Title 37; Title 38; Title 39; Title 40; Title 55 and Title 58, relative to terrorism.
Summary
SB0792 is a narrow reporting bill related to terrorism convictions in Tennessee. It adds a new section to Title 39, Chapter 13, Part 8 requiring the district attorneys general conference to compile a yearly report on convictions obtained under that part during the previous year. The report must be submitted to the General Assembly by January 15, 2026, and every January 15 thereafter.
The bill does not create new criminal offenses, change sentencing ranges, or alter investigative powers. Instead, it establishes an ongoing administrative reporting requirement intended to give lawmakers a regular accounting of terrorism-related convictions under existing law. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law, citing the public welfare.
Impact
The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 39 by adding a new annual reporting duty for the district attorneys general conference concerning convictions under the state’s terrorism-related criminal provisions. Its practical effect is limited to data collection and legislative oversight, with no direct change to substantive criminal law, procedure, or penalties. The affected parties are primarily the district attorneys general conference and the General Assembly, which will receive the reports.
Sentiment
Because there were no committee transcripts or recorded votes provided, the available record does not show significant debate or opposition. The bill appears to have a neutral, administrative purpose, and its immediate-effect clause suggests it was treated as a public-welfare measure rather than a controversial policy change. Overall sentiment from the available materials is best characterized as procedural and likely uncontentious.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided materials. If any concerns were raised, they are not reflected in the available transcripts or voting history. Based on the text alone, the only possible area of discussion would be the burden of annual reporting on prosecutors versus the value of increased legislative oversight, but no side is identified in the record.
