HB 2574 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

DUI Offenses - As enacted, clarifies present law regarding the revocation of a person's driver license for an implied consent violation. - Amends TCA Section 55-10-407.

HB 2574 amends Tennessee law to clarify the driver's license revocation period for individuals convicted of DUI-related offenses involving an implied consent violation (such as refusing a breath test). It specifically sets a 1-year and 6-month revocation period for drivers without prior DUI convictions under Tennessee Code Annotated § 55-10-407(a)(1). The bill directly affects drivers who face license suspension due to DUI offenses, particularly those without prior convictions. This change clarifies the existing penalty duration without introducing new penalties or altering other aspects of DUI sentencing.
