Tennessee SB0595 amends Title 40, Chapter 11 of the Tennessee Code Annotated to change the process for surrendering defendants.

This new subsection mandates that sheriffs must accept the surrender of a defendant by a bail bondsman or surety, pending a hearing under § 40-11-137 to determine if there is good cause for the surrender. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as the public welfare requires it.
