House Bill 2814 amends Tennessee law regarding drag racing by changing the classification of the offense. Specifically, it modifies Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 55-10-502(a), by deleting the designation of "Class A misdemeanor" and substituting it with "Class E felony." This change indicates a significant increase in the severity of the legal consequences for individuals found guilty of drag racing.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2024, and will apply to any acts of drag racing committed on or after that date. This legislative change aims to enhance penalties associated with drag racing, reflecting a stricter approach to this activity in Tennessee.
