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) after being arrested for driving under the influence (DUI). Specifically, it establishes that a driver's license will be revoked for one year and six months if they do not have a prior conviction for a DUI offense, as defined in subsection (e) of the law. This change aims to provide clearer guidelines for license revocations in such cases and takes effect on January 1, 2027.
