AI Summary
This bill, which amends Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) in Titles 5 and 6, prohibits charging a fee, fine, or cost to the owner of a shopping cart if that cart is found on public property, unless the cart was taken from a retail store's premises or parking area by the store's owner or an employee acting for them. This means that if a shopping cart is simply found off-site, the store owner cannot be penalized, regardless of any local rules or laws that might otherwise allow for such penalties.
