Senate Bill 417 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 by deleting the current weight of "One hundred fifty (150) grams" and substituting it with "Fifty (50) grams." This change indicates a stricter approach to the enforcement of laws related to the specified criminal activity.
The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, contingent upon the public welfare requiring it. This timeline allows for any necessary adjustments or preparations related to the implementation of the new legal standard.
Statutes affected: Introduced: 39-17-417(j)(12), 39-17-417
