Search & Seizure - As enacted, authorizes a law enforcement officer to execute a search warrant for medical records or a test to determine the alcohol or drug content, or both, of a person's blood anywhere in the state, rather than in the county in which the warrant was issued; makes related changes. - Amends TCA Title 40 and Title 55.
This law allows law enforcement officers to execute search warrants for medical records or blood alcohol and drug tests anywhere in Tennessee, rather than being limited to the specific county where the warrant was issued. The change applies to all officers statewide and removes previous geographic restrictions on where these specific types of warrants can be carried out. Effective May 1, 2024, the provision updates existing statutes to align with this expanded authority for executing warrants across county lines.
