Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law regarding burglary by reclassifying the offense of burglary of a conveyance, which refers to a vehicle, from a Class E felony to a Class D felony, meaning it will carry a more severe penalty. It also makes conforming changes to other sections of Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA), which is the compilation of the state's laws, to reflect this change in classification for burglary offenses that are not related to a habitation, such as a home. These changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and will apply to any offenses committed on or after that date.
