HB 1048 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Alcoholic Beverage Commission - As introduced, requires the presence of one rather than two credible witnesses to be present when an officer of the commission destroys contraband distillation equipment, paraphernalia, and personal property. - Amends TCA Title 57.

HB 1048 amends Tennessee law to reduce the number of required credible witnesses from two to one when Alcoholic Beverage Commission officers destroy confiscated contraband equipment, paraphernalia, or personal property. The bill directly affects commission officers conducting these destruction procedures. It changes Section 57-9-101(c) of Tennessee Code Annotated to require only one credible witness instead of two for such destructions. This is a procedural adjustment to administrative requirements, not a substantive policy change.
