Senate Bill 417, sponsored by Lowe, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 39-17-417(j)(12), which pertains to criminal offenses. The bill seeks to reduce the threshold for a specific offense from "One hundred fifty (150) grams" to "Fifty (50) grams." This change aims to adjust the legal parameters surrounding the offense, potentially increasing the severity of penalties for violations involving smaller quantities.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, contingent upon the public welfare. This timeline allows for a transition period before the new legal standard is enforced.
