Lt. Gov. McNally on Truth in Sentencing becoming law
May 6, 2022


Lt. Governor McNally made the following statement upon Truth in Sentencing (Senate Bill 2248) becoming law:

Truth in Sentencing is vital legislation that not only offers justice and transparency to victims but also acts as a critical deterrent against violent offenders. The costs associated with the legislation are well worth the peace of mind offered to victims and the overall boost to public safety. While I disagree with Governor Lee’s critique of the bill, I appreciate his willingness to work with Speaker Sexton and I to get the bill in a posture to avoid a veto. I am grateful this bill is now the law of the land in Tennessee.
