Prosecutors must report task force outcomes

In districts with the Memphis Safe Task Force or a federal violent-crime task force, district attorneys must report case outcomes. They must report when they take a plea, lower a charge, or dismiss or decline a serious offense. Serious offenses include homicide, felony gun or drug crimes, sexual offenses, Class A or B felony theft, organized retail crime, sexual exploitation of a minor, RICO, and gang crimes. Reports are compiled each month and sent within 10 business days of each action to the state attorney general, the House Speaker, the District Attorneys General Conference, and the U.S. Attorney. The rule covers actions on charges filed on or before June 30, 2028. After that date, prosecutors keep reporting only for those earlier charges.
