AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 55-10-407, to clarify the duration of driver's license revocation for an implied consent violation, which occurs when a driver refuses to submit to a chemical test (like a breathalyzer or blood test) to determine their blood alcohol content (BAC) after being arrested for suspected driving under the influence (DUI).
