Bill overview
This bill amends several sections of the Tennessee Code of Criminal Procedure (Titles 38, 39, and 40) to adjust financial obligations related to criminal justice processes. Specifically, it increases the minimum monthly payment a defendant must make to cover expenses from $10 to $15. It also modifies the cost associated with municipal-requested autopsies, requiring municipalities to pay unless the state covers the expense. Finally, the bill raises the fees associated with certain court-ordered payments.
