NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A young woman’s death changed Tennessee’s law. Now that law is being put to use, possibly for the first time.

“Jillian’s Law,” which took effect on July 1, is named after 18-year-old Belmont University student Jillian Ludwig , who was hit and killed by a stray bullet last November. The alleged shooter was a repeat offender who was out on the street after being ruled incompetent to stand trial for a previous shooting.

The law, spearheaded by House Majority Leader William Lamberth (R-Portland), requires defendants who are ruled incompetent to stand trial be committed to a mental health facility, rather than be let loose without treatment.
