HB 639 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Alcoholic Beverages - As introduced, extends from five to 10 days the amount of time a law enforcement officer has to file a written informational statement with the county court clerk after taking possession of illicit intoxicating liquors. - Amends TCA Title 57.

HB 639 would extend the deadline for law enforcement officers to file a written statement with the county court clerk after seizing illegal alcohol, changing the current five-day limit to ten days. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 57, Section 57-9-104, directly affecting officers who confiscate illicit intoxicating liquors and county court clerks who process these filings. This procedural change provides additional time for officers to complete required paperwork without altering enforcement standards. The adjustment applies only to the timeline for submitting statements, with no other policy changes included.
