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.
SB 1347 reduces the requirement for witnesses when Tennessee's Alcoholic Beverage Commission destroys contraband equipment or property, changing the rule from needing "at least two credible witnesses" to "at least one credible witness." This directly affects Commission officers who handle the destruction of distillation equipment, paraphernalia, or personal property seized during enforcement actions. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 57, Section 57-9-101(c), to implement this procedural change without altering the underlying enforcement authority.
