AI Summary

This bill makes a minor technical amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically changing a reporting deadline for the fiscal review committee from January 15 to February 15. The change impacts Section 40-35-111(f), which relates to the committee's requirement to report to the chief clerks of the senate and house of representatives every five years about changes in the average consumer price index (CPI) as published by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. By extending the deadline by one month, the bill gives the fiscal review committee additional time to compile and submit their analysis of statutory minimum and maximum authorized fines across different offense classifications, adjusting for compounded cost-of-living increases over the five-year period. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and affects multiple titles of Tennessee Code including Title 16, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 49, 55, and 65, though the specific amendment is narrow in scope.
