AI Summary
This bill requires the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR), a state-level research agency, to conduct a comprehensive road safety study that will analyze safety challenges for different types of road users, including teen and older drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and mass transit users. The study must identify specific safety problems unique to each group, provide recommendations to promote safe behaviors, and explore new design and technology solutions to improve road safety. All state departments and agencies are required to assist TACIR in this research effort. By January 15, 2026, TACIR must submit a detailed report with its findings and potential legislative recommendations to the chairs of the transportation committees in the Tennessee House of Representatives and Senate, as well as to the legislative librarian. The bill specifies that the study should be conducted using TACIR's existing resources, meaning no additional funding is anticipated. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of protecting public welfare.
