Amends TCA Title 4.
Tennessee HB0393 mandates that the Department of Correction pay $85 per month to active or retired employees responsible for retired canines used in service, specifically for their medical care. The bill requires the officer to maintain medical records for the retired canine and notify the department within 30 days of the canine's death, at which point the payments will cease. An amendment to the bill expands its applicability to all department employees, not just correctional officers.
