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 must detail cases where individuals were arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) under Tennessee Code § 55-10-401, but no alcohol or other intoxicants were found in their blood or breath tests. The report must also specify the law enforcement agency responsible for each such arrest. This reporting requirement is set to continue until July 1, 2029, at which point the reporting mandate will be automatically repealed. The bill aims to provide transparency and potentially track instances of potentially improper DUI arrests where no intoxicants are detected, though the specific purpose beyond data collection is not explicitly stated in the bill text. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
