Amends TCA Title 37.

Tennessee HB0797 mandates that juvenile courts in counties with approved detention facilities assume direct supervision and control of these facilities for the detention of juveniles under their jurisdiction or arrange for management by licensed entities. The bill specifically applies to Hamilton, Knox, Davidson, and Shelby counties and requires the use of a dedicated courtroom near the detention facility for related proceedings, aiming to reduce the public exposure and humiliation of detained children. Key changes in the amendments include exemptions for facilities managed under written agreements and a revised effective date of October 1, 2025.
