Amends TCA Title 33; Title 39 and Title 40.

Tennessee HB1089 establishes a mandatory mental health evaluation process for defendants convicted of specific offenses, including domestic assault and child abuse, prior to sentencing. It affects individuals convicted of these crimes and mandates that evaluations be conducted by community mental health centers or qualified professionals, with costs covered by the defendant unless they are deemed indigent. Key provisions include the requirement for evaluation reports to be submitted to the court, the department's obligation to assess workforce and funding availability quarterly, and the authority for emergency rulemaking to implement the bill.
