Introduced·1/22/26

Allows TRICOR to operate commissary programs in state prisons to offset incarceration costs.

This bill amends Tennessee Code to allow the TRICOR board to operate commissary programs within state prisons, aiming to offset incarceration costs by generating revenue through product sales and commissary operations instead of relying solely on state appropriations. It removes the previous mandate for TRICOR to generate revenue solely through product sales. The changes take effect immediately upon becoming law.
