Bill > HB1334

This bill removes Section 54-1-104 from the Tennessee Code Annotated, which previously required the transportation department to collaborate with safety and law enforcement agencies to develop and submit a strategic statewide plan for increasing pedestrian safety by February 15, 2024. By deleting this entire section, the bill effectively eliminates the legal mandate for creating this specific pedestrian safety report and planning process. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, with the justification that it serves the public welfare. While the government-provided summary suggests this provision is now considered "obsolete," the bill text does not provide explicit reasoning for why the pedestrian safety reporting requirement is being removed.
