Senate Bill 308, also known as House Bill 381, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 57, to enhance accountability regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages on premises. The bill introduces a new subsection (e) to Section 57-4-205, which mandates the commission to produce an annual report detailing individuals convicted under this section in the previous year. This report must be submitted to the chair of the state and local government committee in the Senate and the chair of the relevant committee in the House of Representatives. The first report is required to include all convictions since the law's inception and must be filed by December 1, 2025, with subsequent reports due by December 1 each year thereafter.

The bill aims to improve transparency and oversight of alcohol-related offenses by ensuring that legislative committees are informed of convictions. This legislative change is intended to promote public welfare and enhance the regulatory framework surrounding alcohol consumption in Tennessee. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
