New entry rules for Tennessee drug courts

Beginning July 1, 2026, the law changes Tennessee drug court entry rules. One rule refers to a felony offense within the previous 10 years, replacing the broader reference to an offense. The law also removes another eligibility rule. The supplied text does not explain the removed rule, so the overall effect on who qualifies is unclear.
