Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signs bill to consider public safety as first consideration for bail

The process of setting bail is changing as two bills hit Governor Lee’s desk. One bill makes public safety the priority when setting bail.

The other eliminates affordability from the question when setting the bail amount.

On Friday, Governor Bill Lee signed House Bill 1642 into law. The law goes into effect on July 1.
