Alcoholic Beverages - As introduced, requires each officer who takes possession of intoxicating liquor to file within 10 days, rather than five days, a written statement with the circuit or criminal court clerk identifying the kind and quantity of the liquor taken, and from whom the liquor was taken, if known. - Amends TCA Title 57 and Title 67.
SB 1789 amends Tennessee law to extend the deadline for law enforcement officers to file reports about seized alcohol. Currently, officers must submit a written statement detailing the type, quantity, and source (if known) of seized intoxicating liquor within five days. This bill changes that requirement to ten days, giving officers more time to complete the documentation. The change applies to all officers taking possession of alcohol under Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 57-9-104 and related provisions.
