Bill Summary

As introduced, adds the legislative librarian as a recipient of the annual report submitted by the department to legislative committees on the number of offenders who have had installed on their motor vehicles functioning ignition interlock devices and whether the installation of each device was pursuant to requirements in law. - Amends TCA Title 55 and Title 65.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee law to require that the annual report on ignition interlock devices, which are court-mandated technological devices installed in vehicles to prevent drunk driving by requiring a breath test before the car can start, be submitted not only to existing legislative committees but also to the legislative librarian. The addition of the legislative librarian as a recipient ensures broader documentation and potential future access to these annual reports tracking offenders who have had these devices installed on their motor vehicles. The bill is a minor procedural change that expands the distribution of an existing reporting requirement, with the goal of improving record-keeping and transparency around drunk driving prevention measures. The amendment will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as specified in the bill's second section.
