Tennessee SB0718 amends juvenile detention procedures to enhance privacy and efficiency.
Tennessee SB0718 amends Title 37 of the Tennessee Code to improve juvenile detention practices. It mandates that juvenile courts in counties with approved detention facilities must either directly supervise these facilities or arrange for licensed institutions or the Department of Children's Services to manage them. The bill also requires courts to use dedicated courtrooms near these facilities for child custody, detention, or adjudicatory proceedings, provided they meet security standards. This aims to reduce the humiliation and restraint use associated with transporting juveniles.
