Bill > HB2432

This bill, known as "Quinton's Law," amends Tennessee law by establishing a new statute of limitations for vehicular homicide offenses. Specifically, it adds a provision to Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Section 40-2-101 that, notwithstanding existing rules, allows for the prosecution of vehicular homicide, as defined in TCA Section 39-13-213, to commence within ten years from the date the offense occurs, for crimes committed on or after July 1, 2026. The statute of limitations refers to the maximum amount of time after an event within which legal proceedings may be initiated. This change is intended to provide a longer period to bring charges in such cases.
