Criminal Offenses - As introduced, enacts the "Safe Highways and Roads Enforcement (SHARE) Act," which requires the court to assess an additional fine against a person convicted of a moving traffic violation or driving under the influence of an intoxicant; requires the additional fines be deposited into the state highway fund. - Amends TCA Title 39 and Title 55.
HB 1519, the "SHARE Act," requires courts to add extra fines for certain traffic violations and DUI convictions. For non-commercial vehicles, a $25 fine is added for moving traffic violations; for commercial vehicles, it's $50. DUI convictions incur an additional $100 fine, which replaces any separate moving violation fine. All collected fines go directly into the state highway fund to pay for road maintenance and infrastructure improvements on state highways and interstates. The law takes effect July 1, 2026, for offenses committed on or after that date.
