SB 1572 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

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.

SB 1572, the "Safe Highways and Roads Enforcement (SHARE) Act," adds fines to traffic violation and DUI convictions in Tennessee. Courts must assess a $25 fine for non-commercial moving violations, $50 for commercial vehicles, and $100 for DUI offenses. All additional fines collected are deposited into the state highway fund for road maintenance and infrastructure improvements. This directly affects drivers convicted of moving traffic violations or DUI, with no double fines if both charges apply (only the $100 DUI fine is applied in such cases). The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, for offenses committed on or after that date.
