Bill > HB1748

This bill modifies Tennessee law regarding the electronic monitoring indigency fund, which helps individuals who cannot afford ignition interlock devices, a common requirement after certain driving offenses. Specifically, it requires individuals ordered to use an ignition interlock device to provide documentation to the court clerk and the device provider on the same day they are ordered to use the device. This documentation must prove they qualify for or are already receiving financial assistance from specific sources, as outlined in the law. The bill also authorizes the state treasurer to work with state agencies to verify this eligibility, streamlining the process for accessing the indigency fund.
