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 documenting the number of offenders who have installed functioning ignition interlock devices on their motor vehicles be submitted not only to existing legislative committees, but also to the legislative librarian. Ignition interlock devices are specialized breathalyzer systems installed in vehicles that prevent a car from starting if the driver's breath alcohol level exceeds a preset limit, typically used for individuals convicted of driving under the influence (DUI). The bill represents a minor administrative change to ensure broader distribution of an existing annual report, which tracks compliance with legal requirements for certain drivers with past alcohol-related driving offenses. The amendment will take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the legislature's determination that prompt implementation serves the public interest.
