SB0388 mandates global positioning monitoring for defendants in certain cases as a condition of bail.

SB0388 amends Tennessee law to require courts or magistrates to order defendants to wear a global positioning monitoring system as a condition of bail if they find probable cause to believe certain circumstances occurred. This applies to defendants arrested for offenses involving firearms, serious bodily injury, domestic assault, burglary of vehicles, and reckless driving. The court must find the defendant no longer poses a threat to the alleged victim or public safety to avoid this condition.
