Amends TCA Title 40.
Tennessee SB1765 permits trial judges to revoke a defendant's probation for a felony or misdemeanor based on a single instance of a technical violation. The bill affects individuals on probation and outlines new terms of incarceration for technical violations, allowing up to 90 days for a first revocation, 180 days for a second, and the remainder of the sentence for a third or subsequent revocation. This change aims to provide courts with greater authority in managing probation violations.
