Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Counties stop fraud fees and recover funds

The law took effect upon becoming law. In Tennessee counties that enact the cost authorized by § 40-3-106, officials cannot enforce Part 2 fraud and economic-crime fees or assessments. District attorneys must retain any Part 2 funds they hold or control until a funding threshold is reached. That happens when the fund balance under § 40-3-106 equals or exceeds the fraud prosecution account balance under § 40-3-207. The prosecution account balance then returns to the county government where the money was originally assessed and collected.
