Senate Bill 429, also known as House Bill 191, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically within Title 39, Chapter 13, Part 1. The bill introduces a new section that makes it an offense to knowingly activate and point a laser pointer or similar device at individuals operating various types of vehicles, including automobiles, boats, and aircraft. This action is classified as a Class B misdemeanor, which carries specific legal penalties.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to any offenses committed on or after that date. Notably, the language has been modified to replace "driving an automobile" with "operating an automobile" and "airplane" with "aircraft," ensuring broader applicability to different types of vehicles.
