House Bill 403 proposes amendments to Tennessee Code Annotated regarding criminal offenses. Specifically, it changes the classification of certain offenses by deleting the designation of "Class A misdemeanor" and replacing it with "Class D felony" in Section 39-13-605(d)(1)(A). Additionally, the bill removes subdivisions (d)(2) and (d)(3) from the same section, which may pertain to specific provisions or penalties related to the offenses.
The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to offenses committed on or after that date. This legislative change aims to adjust the legal framework surrounding certain criminal offenses, potentially increasing the severity of penalties associated with them.
Statutes affected: Introduced: 39-13-605(d)(1)(A), 39-13-605
