Tennessee HB0524 allows defendants to transfer their criminal cases to a veterans treatment court in a contiguous county with a specific population.
Tennessee HB0524 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 16 and Title 40, to allow a defendant to file a motion to transfer their criminal case to a veterans treatment court in a contiguous county with a population between 220,000 and 220,100. The transfer is contingent on the veterans treatment court in the contiguous county having jurisdiction over the case, the defendant waiving their right to a jury trial in the original county, and the district attorney general of the contiguous county agreeing to accept the case. This act takes effect upon becoming law.
