DUI Offenses - As enacted, requires the Tennessee bureau of investigation to provide a report to the speakers of the senate and the house of representatives on or before January 1 each year, until July 1, 2029, detailing the instances in the most recent year for which complete data is available in which a person was arrested for driving under the influence but where no alcohol or other intoxicants are detected in the person's blood or breath. - Amends TCA Title 6; Title 7; Title 8 and Title 38.
HB 1274 requires the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) to annually report to legislative leaders on DUI arrests where no alcohol or intoxicants were detected in the person's blood or breath. The TBI must submit this report each January 1, starting in 2026, detailing the most recent year's data and including the arresting law enforcement agency. This requirement is effective until July 1, 2029. The bill provides lawmakers with specific data on these cases but does not change existing DUI laws or penalties.
