Tennessee Centers for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Contact Information and the Counties They Serve
Tennessee Annotated Code Section 24-1-211 sets out the statutory requirements involving interpreters for the deaf and hard of hearing. This statue provides that the fee for the services of such an interpreter shall be paid by the county if the person needing assistance is a complainant, defendant, or witness. Should the request for an interpreter come from any other individual, please contact the AOC for advice on whether the county or state is responsible for payment of the interpreter fee.
