Bill > HB2014

This bill, amending Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Titles 39, 40, and 55, mandates that individuals convicted of vehicular homicide that proximately resulted from their intoxication, and who are also convicted of leaving the scene of the accident stemming from the same incident, must be sentenced as a Range II offender for the vehicular homicide charge, with the possibility of a Range III sentence but no lower than Range II. Range II and Range III refer to sentencing ranges established in Tennessee law that dictate the minimum and maximum penalties for certain offenses, with higher ranges generally indicating more severe crimes and harsher punishments. This provision aims to increase penalties for those who commit a serious offense like intoxicated vehicular homicide and then attempt to evade responsibility by leaving the scene of the accident.
