Tennessee SB2365 amends expedited hearing procedures for parental contact restrictions in criminal cases.
Tennessee SB2365 introduces changes to the expedited hearing procedures for cases involving restrictions on parental contact, custody, or visitation. It mandates that any bond condition affecting these aspects must be reviewed within fifteen days, or it becomes void. Additionally, before imposing or extending such restrictions, the government must prove a present threat to the child and that less restrictive alternatives are insufficient. The act presumes parental contact is in the child's best interest unless proven otherwise.
