Subcommittee adopts amendment to create Tennessee Safe Initiative Task Force under TBI
Summary
An amendment to HB21-57 creates the Tennessee Safe Initiative Task Force, housed at the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, with appointed representatives from law enforcement and prosecution associations; the committee adopted the amendment and advanced the bill 9-0.
A sponsor explained amendment 17,476 to HB21-57 would establish the Tennessee Safe Initiative Task Force and house it under the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). The task force would include the TBI director, the commissioner of safety, representatives appointed by the DA's conference, the sheriffs' association, chiefs of police, and legislative leaders; it would meet at least three times per year and accept petitions to bring TBI assistance into longer‑term investigations.
Representative Powell and others asked procedural questions about structure and meeting frequency; the sponsor clarified the task force’s name and procedures. The committee adopted the amendment and voted 9‑0 to send HB21-57 as amended to full judiciary.
