Amends TCA Title 37; Title 39; Title 40, Chapter 11 and Title 49.

Tennessee HB0629 amends existing laws regarding juvenile delinquency and school discipline by allowing courts to mandate the use of global positioning monitoring system devices for children deemed delinquent or unruly, and requiring mandatory counseling and mental health evaluations for students expelled for zero tolerance offenses related to threats of mass violence. The bill affects children involved in the juvenile justice system and students in public and charter schools. Key provisions include the court's authority to order GPS monitoring and the requirement for mental health evaluations to be conducted by designated professionals before a student can return to school after expulsion.
