AI Summary

This bill requires the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) to submit an annual report to the speakers of the Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives by January 1st each year, starting in 2026. The report will detail instances where individuals were arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) under Tennessee Code § 55-10-401, but no alcohol or other intoxicating substances were detected in their blood or breath. The report must include the specific law enforcement agency responsible for each arrest. This reporting requirement is set to be in effect until July 1, 2029, after which the reporting mandate will be automatically repealed.
