Tennessee SB1396 updates bail receipt requirements to include digital formats.

Tennessee SB1396 amends the Tennessee Code to modernize bail receipt requirements by allowing both written and digital formats. It deletes the language "furnish a receipt" and substitutes "furnish a written or digital receipt" in Section 40-11-304(a). Similarly, it changes "keep a duplicate copy of every receipt" to "keep a duplicate written or digital copy of every receipt." This act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
