Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 15.
Tennessee SB2376 amends Title 39, Chapter 15 of the Tennessee Code Annotated by extending the timeframe from 10 to 20 days for a court to schedule a hearing on a petition to freeze the funds of a criminal defendant charged with financial exploitation of an elderly or vulnerable adult when the amount involved exceeds $5,000. This bill primarily affects defendants in such cases and aims to ensure that funds are available for restitution to victims during the pending criminal proceedings. The key change is the increase in the time allowed for scheduling the hearing, thereby providing additional time for legal processes.
